Olive Borden (Sybil Tinkle) (July 14, 1907 - October 1, 1947) was an American actress in silent and early talking motion figures, known for her pitch black hair and overall beauty.
She started as one of Mack Sennett's bathing beauties in 1924 and was soon signed to Fox, after being named a WAMPAS Baby Star in 1925. She also made movies for Columbia and Radio Pictures, often playing beautiful, sophisticated types. During this time she worked with some directors who would go on to achieve major fame, including John Ford, Howard Hawks and Leo McCarey.
By this point a major star, the nature of Borden's voice required a change in casting type by the advent of the talkies. She made several movies in the early 1930's, playing a younger, more modern sort of character. Her last screen credit came in 1934.
Following her departure from Hollywood, Borden struggled greatly with both her personal and professional life, resulting in her premature death in 1947 in a Los Angeles mission.
Olive Borden has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6801 Hollywood Blvd.
