Jenny Golder, originally Rosie Sloman, was born in 1894 in Kyneton, Victoria, Australia. Her father was a jack of all trades: theatre director, magician, bookmaker, etc., while her mother's name was Golder. In the late 19th century they moved to Britain and lived in Brighton. In the 1920s under the name of Jenny Golder, Rosie Sloman became a popular vaudeville vedette first in London and Brussels, but eventually, it was in Paris she had her biggest triumphs. She appeared in many revues with American dancer Harry Pilcer, the former dance partner of Gaby Deslys. In 1925 she had her greatest success with the Folies Bergères revue at the London Palladium. However, in 1928 she committed suicide in her villa in Vesinet by shooting herself. Some say she was overworked, others speculate that after an operation on her leg she was afraid she couldn't act anymore. As far is known, Golder didn't act in a film.
