## Biography

Rosalind Ivan (born Rosalind Muriel Pringle) was an English stage and film character actress. She began performing as a concert pianist in childhood before turning to acting, appearing on the London stage from around 1900 and joining Sir Henry Irving's company. Her first Broadway role came in 1907 in *The Master Builder*; her final one was in *The Corn Is Green* (1940).

Ivan appeared in fourteen American films between 1944 and 1954. She is noted for playing nagging or formidable wives, including Adele Cross opposite Edward G. Robinson in *Scarlet Street* (1945) and Cora Marshall opposite Charles Laughton in *The Suspect* (1944), roles that earned her the nickname 'Ivan the Terrible' in Hollywood. Other screen credits include *Pursuit to Algiers* (1945), *The Verdict* (1946), *Johnny Belinda* (1948) as Mrs. Poggety, *The Robe* (1953) and *Elephant Walk* (1954). She also worked as a translator and writer.
