A French actress, born in Paris, as Corinne Dibos. She married four times, separated from all of them, and had one child. Her most important works are What Price Glory (1952), Le ragazze di San Frediano (1955), Plunderers of Painted Flats (1959), and The Far Country (1954). Corinne Calvet studied criminal law at the Paris-Sorbonne University, then obtained a qualification to work as an interior designer. She studied cinema at L'Ecole du Cinema, stood for the first time on stage, and worked as a radio announcer, then played minor roles in French cinema until she presented Last Chance Castle (1947). Producer Hal Wallis discovered her, took her to Hollywood, and signed a contract with Paramount Pictures in 1947. Her life developed into several feuds, lawsuits, an attempt to commit suicide with a barbiturate sedative, and sensationalist propaganda. She began to dispute with producer Hal Wallis over her wages and despite the growing hostility, she made films with Paramount. She was chosen in 1952 as Miss Golden Globe. Her problems began to overwhelm her career as one of the events that received wide media coverage was a statement by star Zsaza Gabor, who questioned Corrine’s nationality and the other was by her ex-boyfriend, Donald Scott, who accused her of using magic and sorcery to seize his financial assets. He wanted to recover financial assets. Corrine began appearing in international co-productions, dividing her time between Los Angeles, where she worked on American television, and her luxurious apartment on the Champs-Élysées in central Paris, where she worked in French-Italian cinema. In the eighties, she retired and worked as a psychotherapist, specializing in hypnosis, and her last film was Side Roads (1988). She settled in Santa Monica until she died in Los Angeles, California, USA, on June 23, 2001, as a result of a cerebral hemorrhage.
