Old soldiers never die and in the case of Colleen Camp, they don’t even fade away. She was born in 1953, had her debut movie at 19 and has now gone on to hit three figures credits. With Colleen Camp, there are dozens of things you didn’t know about the blonde star. There is not knowing where to start and how much to be said. Seven is a good starting point. We go.
Colleen Camp was born in San Francisco
Colleen Camp was born Colleen Celeste Camp in San Fransisco. She was born on June 7, 1953, to Dorothy and Wilson Camp. She attended her entire schools in California including her university education at California State University in Northridge. To pay for her education, Camp did a handful of odd jobs including appearing at shows six times a week.
It was from this that she developed an interest in acting, an interest that she pursued by going on to have acting lessons. It also helped that she studied Theater Arts and English at the university.
The actress got married at 43
Colleen got married in 1986 to John Goldwyn, a movie producer who was born into a family of production if we have to say that. His father was a producer, his mother an actress and he has siblings who are either directors, producers, and actors or all of them.

Colleen is five years and two months older than her husband. She was 43 when the two wedded. At this age, there are dozens of stars who have already navigated more than two marriages. Talk about different strokes for different folks. The marriage ended in 2001. Divorce.
The marriage between Colleen Camp and John Goldwyn produced one child, a daughter named Emily Grace.
Colleen Camp is also a producer
An African proverb says a mushroom that has grown for so long near a stream is sometimes taken to be a fish. This proverb probably doesn’t make any sense except that we can say Camp has been in the industry so long that she has now gone beyond just acting. She has done some producing.
In 2015, she produced “Love Letters” for Broadway. In the same year, she produced the film “Knock Knock”. She didn’t do it alone as Eli Roth was a co-producer. This doesn’t in itself road her of her expertise.
Tom is her most extensive TV appearance
A look at her list of television appearances tells us that Ms. Camp has appeared in more than 30 television series and TV films. Of these, her usual appearance is made of one or two episodes. No, she is not exactly Jack Bauer in any of the shows. At most, she would feature in four episodes.
But in 1994, Colleen Camp appeared in the CBS sitcom “Tom” for 12 seasons. The series was canceled one episode short of its intended figure. That was more than half a century ago and that still counts as her most appearances on YV to date.
Colleen Camp played Yvette the Maid in “Clue”
You probably have no clue about Clue – “Clue” is a mystery-comedy film based on the game clue. It was directed by Jonathan Lynn and produced by Debra Hill in 1985. The film bombed in the box office failing to make its budget of 15 million dollars. But the film has endured, becoming somewhat of a cult symbol, inspiring a barren full of other series and films.
Colleen Camp played the role of Yvette a French maid whose murder became a major plot point. Camp had to speak with a French accent in the movie and she killed it.
Colleen was twice nominated for worst supporting actress
Actors live for awards. Nominations make them scream with delight. Not all the time. In her career span, Colleen has had causes to scream twice. In 1982 and in 1993, she was nominated by the Golden Rasberry Award for worst supporting actress for her role in “The Seduction” (1982) and “Silver”.
Colleen Camp didn’t get to win this terrible award but the fact that she was even nominated is a blot on her CV. But why should anyone even take their time to search for the worst acts in movies and give them an award? What sort of sadism is this? Not one that keeps us awake at night.
Net worth
According to Married Biography, Colleen Camp is worth around five million dollars. While not arguing this, we are aware of the unspoken rule that says whenever you are not sure about the net worth of any actor and you are sure they are rich, always put it at five million dollars.
Ms. Camp is not a tall woman. She stands at 5 feet 2 ½ inches or 158.8 cm tall which is inches shorter than the average female height in Hollywood.
