A French actress who was born in Paris. She won the SACD Award in 1940 and the French César Honorary Award in 2004. She married twice and had a daughter. She is known for If a Man Answers (1962), Under My Skin (1950), and Good Weather, But Stormy Late This Afternoon (1986). She studied rhythmic dance with Irène Popard and studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts. She attended the stage acting courses of Raymond Rouleau at the behest of Corinne Luchaire. She acted on a few radio plays before she was discovered by Georg Wilhelm Pabst. She is known for the movie Four Flights to Love (1939), after which she continued to present films during the Nazi occupation, which left a bad impression on the French public. She gained worldwide attention after the French press named her named Best French Actress in 1947, and in the late forties, she went to Hollywood with her American husband William Marshall and presented several Hollywood films. The American audience did not like her films, and after her separation from her husband in 1954, she returned to France with her daughter, continued to work in French cinema, and often appeared on stage. She presented about 50 television works. Her post-Hollywood films include Donkey Skin (1979) and House of Ricordi (1954).
