Born in the charming city of Lyons, France, she embarked on a journey that would take her to the vibrant metropolis of Paris, where she would pursue her dreams and ambitions. Following the completion of her typing diploma, she secured a position at the war ministry, where she gained valuable experience and skills.
It was during this time that she formed a lasting friendship with renowned film producer Andre Hunebelle, who would go on to play a significant role in her future career. Hunebelle, recognizing her talent and potential, offered her a small but significant role in the film "Mannequins de Paris". This marked the beginning of her foray into the world of cinema.
As her confidence and experience grew, she continued to work in the industry, taking on roles in films such as "Collegiennes" and "The Market in Women", with the latter being a notable milestone in her career, as she was only 19 years old at the time.
