Corinne Calvet
Biography
Corinne Calvet was a French actress whose film career was based largely in Hollywood. Born in Paris in 1925, she studied criminal law at the Sorbonne before a circle of artists in Paris prompted her to try acting, and she trained at Charles Dullin's school and L'Ecole du Cinema. She began in French radio, stage plays, and movies in the 1940s, then signed with Paramount and took a role in Rope of Sand (1949) opposite Burt Lancaster and Paul Henreid. Fox gave her star billing in When Willie Comes Marching Home (1950), and she later appeared in On the Riviera (1951) with Danny Kaye, Sailor Beware (1952) with Martin and Lewis, What Price Glory (1952), and The Far Country (1954) with James Stewart. Her later credits included Plunderers of Painted Flats (1959), Hemingway's Adventures of a Young Man (1962), and She's Dressed to Kill (1979). She died in 2001.

A role that slipped away
