Nadine Alari, daughter of songwriter Suzanne Verger, had a unique opportunity to interact with artists of all kinds from a very early age. She would often recite poems by Jacques Prévert, who was not yet a renowned poet at the time, in the early 1930s. Alari furthered her skills by attending René Simon's drama course and made her stage debut by performing sketches in a revue at Agnès Capri's cabaret.
Her big break came when Jacques de Casembroot discovered her and introduced her to filmmaker Henri Calef, leading to a significant role in the acclaimed post-war film "Jericho", which tells the story of the French Resistance. Alari also appeared in "Le Père tranquille", a film directed by and starring Noël-Noël, whom she had known since childhood. She went on to make numerous films until 1952, but her appearances became less frequent as she prioritized her work in the theater.
However, Alari remained a prolific dubbing artist, lending her distinctive voice to a wide range of stars, including Kim Novak, Joan Collins, Elsa Martinelli, Eleanor Parker, Maureen O'Hara, Ava Gardner, and Barbara Stanwyck, to name just a few. Her work in television has also been extensive, with approximately seventy TV films, serials, and series episodes to her credit.
One of Alari's most notable recent performances, at the age of 78, was her portrayal of Adèle in Vincent Monnet's "Adèle et Kamel", a role that showcased her enduring talent and dedication to her craft.
