Olive Borden was born born in Richmond, Virginia and raised in Norfolk, Virginia and Baltimore, Maryland where she attended boarding school. Her father died when she was just a baby. She convinced her mother to take her Hollywood when she was a teenager.
Olive had two failed marriages and was romantically involved with actor George O'Brien (actor). By the 1940s she was bankrupt and suffering from alcoholism. She became a nurse's aide and volunteered as a WAAC during World War II.
Her final years were spent cleaning floors at the Sunshine Mission, a home for destitute women. She died there on October 1, 1947 from a stomach ailment and pnuemonia. One of the few items she owned was a scrapbook of memories from her years in Hollywood and a glossy photo of herself signed "Sincerely, Olive Borden".
Olive died far too soon. She was only 41 years old. She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale) in Glendale, California. The Sunshine Mission paid for her funeral expenses.
