Jean Colin (24 March 1905 – 7 March 1989) was an English actress. She began her career on stage in pantomime, musical theatre and operettas.[1][2] She appeared in several films beginning in the 1930s.[3]

Colin was born in Brighton, Sussex and died in London.[3] In her later years, she lived in a flat near Marble Arch in central London.[citation needed]

Career[edit]

Her stage debut was in 1923 in Brighton when Mary Lynn, niece of Ralph Lynn, persuaded her to work up a dancing act with her. Her big chance came when she was given the part originally meant for June in The Five O'Clock Girl. The Hate Ship was her first film.[4]
