Olive Deering (born Olive Corn; October 11, 1918 – March 22, 1986) was an American actress of film, television, and the stage, active from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. She was a life member of The Actors Studio, as was her elder brother, Alfred Ryder.

Biography

Sous le pseudonyme d'Olive Deering, elle débute au théâtre et joue entre autres à Broadway (New York) dès 1936, exclusivement dans des pièces. La quatrième en 1937 est Richard II de William Shakespeare, avec Maurice Evans dans le rôle-titre, elle-même interprétant la jeune reine Isabelle.

Durant les années 1940, où elle se produit le plus à Broadway, une de ses pièces notables est Winged Victory de Moss Hart, représentée de novembre 1943 à mai 1944, avec notamment Alan Baxter, Edmond O'Brien et Martin Ritt (dans l'adaptation au cinéma de 1944, réalisée par George Cukor sous le même titre, son rôle de Ruth Miller est repris par Judy Holliday).

Après 1946, elle ne revient sur les planches new-yorkaises que pour trois pièces, les deux premières dans les années 1960, dont L'Avocat du diable en 1961, adaptation par Dore Schary du roman éponyme de Morris West, avec Leo Genn, Sam Levene et Eduardo Ciannelli. La dernière est Vieux Carré de Tennessee Williams, créée en 1977, avec Tom Aldredge et Sylvia Sidney.

Au cinéma, Olive Deering contribue à seulement sept films américains. Le premier — dans un petit rôle non crédité — est Le Mur invisible d'Elia Kazan (avec Gregory Peck et Dorothy McGuire), sorti en 1947. Le troisième est Samson et Dalila de Cecil B. DeMille (1949, avec Victor Mature et Hedy Lamarr dans les rôles-titre). Elle retrouve DeMille dans Les Dix Commandements (version de 1956), où elle est Myriam, la sœur de Moïse, personnifié par Charlton Heston.

Un autre de ses films notables est Femmes en cage de John Cromwell (1950, avec Eleanor Parker et Agnes Moorehead). Son septième film sort en 1973.

À la télévision, elle apparaît dans trente-trois séries à partir de 1949, dont Tales of Tomorrow (quatre épisodes, 1951-1953), Alfred Hitchcock présente (un épisode, 1959) et Au-delà du réel (un épisode, 1963). Elle tient son ultime rôle au petit écran dans un épisode de Suspicion, diffusé en 1965.

Olive Deering est la sœur de l'acteur Alfred Ryder (né Alfred Jacob Corn, 1916-1995) qui joue dans trois de ses pièces à Broadway, dont Winged Victory pré-citée (à noter que le premier film de celui-ci est l'adaptation également évoquée de cette pièce).

Elle meurt d'un cancer en 1986, dans sa ville natale.

Samson, a Danite Hebrew placed under Nazirite vows from birth by his mother Hazelelponit, is engaged to a Philistine woman named Semadar. At their wedding feast, Samson loses a bet with his wedding guests because of Semadar and attacks thirty Philistines to strip them of their cloaks to pay his betting debt. When his deeds become known, Semadar and her father Tubal are killed; Samson becomes a hunted man and in his fury he begins fighting the Philistines. The Saran of Gaza imposes heavy taxes on the Danites, with the purpose of having Samson betrayed by his own people. The Saran's plan works, and frustrated Danites hand over Samson to the Philistines, much to the joy of Delilah, Semadar's younger sister. Samson is taken by Prince Ahtur, the military governor of the land of Dan, and a regiment of Philistine troops. En route back to Gaza, Ahtur decides to taunt Samson. Samson rips apart his chains and ropes and begins to combat the Philistines, toppling Ahtur's war chariot and using the jawbone of an ass to club the Philistine soldiers to death.

Philip Schuyler Green (Gregory Peck) is a widowed journalist who has just moved to New York City with his son Tommy (Dean Stockwell) and mother (Anne Revere). Green meets with magazine publisher John Minify (Albert Dekker), who asks Green, a gentile, to write an article on antisemitism ("some people don't like other people just because they're Jews"). He is not very enthusiastic at first, but after initially struggling with how to approach the topic in a fresh way, Green is inspired to adopt a Jewish identity ("Phil Greenberg") and writes about his first-hand experiences.
