Early years

[edit]

In 1921, Manlove was one of a group of juvenile performers sponsored by the Oakland Tribune.[1] Also in 1921, at age 6, he received a contract from the Stewart Motion Picture Company. At that time, he already had more than a year's experience on stage.[2]

Radio

[edit]

Manlove worked on radio station KLX in Oakland, California, acting on the Eight o'Clock Players and the Faucit Theater of the Air.[3] He also was host of The Musical Clock morning program on KYA in San Francisco.[4]

Manlove's voice was his trademark as a radio announcer and actor.[citation needed]

Film and television

[edit]

Manlove is known for his roles in the science fiction B movies The Creation of the Humanoids[5] and Plan 9 from Outer Space.[6] Writing for Film Threat, critic Josiah Teal described Manlove's performance in Plan 9 as "over the top,"[7] with critic James Berardinelli writing that the acting in the film was "lacking."[8]

Manlove also had multiple guest-starring roles in the television series Dragnet and Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

Personal life

[edit]

On September 20, 1940, Manlove and his wife, Ora, married in Reno. She sued him for divorce on February 8, 1945.[9] In 1947, he married singer Patricia Prichard in Santa Clara, California.[10] They divorced in 1954.[11]

Death

On April 17, 1996, Manlove died in San Bernardino, California, of cirrhosis of the liver[12] at the age of 81.[13]
