Rosalind Ivan is a Actor British born on 26 november 1880 at London (United-kingdom)
Rosalind Ivan (27 November 1880 – 6 April 1959) was an English stage and film character actress. Ivan appeared in 14 US films from 1944 to 1954. She had a memorable role as the nagging wife of a bank teller (Edward G. Robinson) in Fritz Lang's film Scarlet Street (1945). That role, along with a similar "nagging wife" role (of Charles Laughton) in Robert Siodmak's The Suspect (1944), caused some in Hollywood to dub her "Ivan the Terrible". She also appeared in 20th Century Fox's Biblical epic The Robe. The British actress gained most of her fame on the Broadway and London stages.
Au cinéma, elle apparaît pour la première fois dans Arms and the Woman de George Fitzmaurice, sorti en 1916, avec Edward G. Robinson (tenant lui aussi son premier rôle à l'écran). Notons qu'elle retrouve l'acteur à Broadway, de décembre 1919 à janvier 1920, dans Les Bas-fonds de Maxime Gorki.
Après cet unique film muet, elle contribue à seulement dix-sept autres films américains, le deuxième en 1936, les quatorze suivants dans les années 1940. Mentionnons La Rue rouge de Fritz Lang (1945), où elle retrouve une nouvelle fois Edward G. Robinson, ainsi que Johnny Belinda de Jean Negulesco (1948), avec Jane Wyman et Lew Ayres.
Relevons ici que Rosalind Ivan se produit pour la dernière fois à Broadway dans Le blé est vert d'Herman Shumlin, pièce représentée 477 fois de novembre 1940 à janvier 1942, aux côtés d'Ethel Barrymore. Elle reprend son rôle dans l'adaptation au cinéma (sous le même titre) en 1945, réalisée par Irving Rapper, avec Bette Davis remplaçant Ethel Barrymore.
Ses deux derniers films sont La Tunique d'Henry Koster (avec Richard Burton et Jean Simmons), sorti en 1953, puis La Piste des éléphants de .William Dieterle (avec Elizabeth Taylor et Dana Andrews), sorti en 1954.
À la télévision, elle se produit dans cinq séries (dont trois dédiées au théâtre), entre 1950 et 1955.

Colonial tea planter John Wiley, visiting England at the end of World War II, wins and weds lovely English rose Ruth and takes her home to Elephant Walk, Ceylon, where the local elephants have a grudge against the plantation because it blocks their migrating path. Ruth's delight with the tropical wealth and luxury of her new home is tempered by isolation as the only white woman in the district; by her husband's occasional imperious arrogance; by a mutual physical attraction with plantation manager Dick Carver; and by the hovering, ominous menace of the hostile elephants. The elephants end up destroying the plantation in a stampede along with a fire.
