June Duprez

Biography

June Duprez was an English film actress who started performing as a teenager, first with the Coventry Repertory Company after her studies at the Froebel Institute. Born in Teddington, England, in 1918, she made her screen debut in The Crimson Circle in 1936 and followed it with The Cardinal the same year. A minor role in The Spy in Black (1939) came before The Four Feathers (1939), the adaptation that turned her into a star. Her greatest success arrived with The Thief of Bagdad (1940), produced by Alexander Korda's London Films. Korda later brought her to Hollywood, and after she left his contract she took lower-budget parts. None But the Lonely Heart (1944), opposite Cary Grant and Ethel Barrymore, revived her standing. She appeared in the ensemble of And Then There Were None (1945) and starred in Calcutta (1946). Duprez later acted on and off Broadway, in radio and television, and composed a published song. She died in 1984.
