Actor
Seneca City, South Carolina, USA
Clinton Rosemond (November 1, 1882 – March 10, 1966) was an American singer and actor. Born Cresent Clinton Rosemond, he sang in the Southern Trio with John C. Payne and Mabel Mercer in the 1920s. The group was based in England and specialized in a cappella. Rosemond went on to act in American films of the 1930s and 1940s. Often uncredited and typecast as a butler or servant due to a lack of film roles for African American actors, he was frequently relegated to playing demeaning parts, such as a stereotypical "scared Negro". Rosemond died in 1966 from a stroke. He and his wife Corinne had two daughters, Eleanor Alsobrooks, an educator, and Bertha Hope Booker, a musician, and a son Clinton, a city planner.
