Biography
Élève du conservatoire d’art dramatique de Genève, elle débuta au théâtre avec la compagnie Pitoëff. Au cinéma, elle fut l’un des seconds rôles marquants des années 1930 jusqu’aux années 1960. Abonnée aux rôles ingrats, jouant souvent la méchante de service, c’est en 1943, avec sa prestation dans Le Corbeau d’Henri-Georges Clouzot, qu’elle atteint à la renommée. Mais elle sait aussi faire preuve de fantaisie comme dans Pension Mimosas de Jacques Feyder aux côtés de Françoise Rosay et d’Arletty (1935), dans Faibles femmes de Michel Boisrond avec Alain Delon et Mylène Demongeot (1959) ou dans l’un de ses derniers films, en directrice de musée coincée et chef du personnage interprété par Catherine Deneuve, dans Agent trouble de Jean-Pierre Mocky (1987).Usually with

Trelkovsky (Roman Polanski), a quiet and unassuming man, rents an apartment in Paris whose previous tenant, Egyptologist Simone Choule, attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself out the window and through a pane of glass below. He visits Choule in the hospital but finds her entirely in bandages and unable to talk. Whilst still at Choule's bedside, Trelkovsky meets Simone's friend, Stella (Isabelle Adjani), who has also come to visit. Stella begins talking to Simone, who becomes aware of her visitors. Initially showing some signs of agitation upon seeing them, Choule soon lets out a disturbing cry, then dies. It isn't clear which of the two has caused this reaction. Apparently unaware that Choule is now dead, Trelkovsky tries to comfort Stella but dares not say that he never knew Simone, instead pretending to be another friend. They leave together and go out for a drink and a movie (1973's Enter The Dragon), where they fondle each other. Outside the theatre they part ways.

Une nuit d'été, Pierre Menda, un homme qui paraît être à la dérive et marche sans but le long d'une petite route de la Côte d'Azur, est accosté par un luxueux cabriolet blanc. Sans un mot, sa conductrice, une femme dont il ne distingue que la longue chevelure blonde, l'invite à monter, ouvre son manteau sous lequel elle est nue et se donne à lui. Mais, après qu'il a été abruptement invité à quitter le véhicule, la conductrice, après avoir tenté de l'écraser, réussit à prendre la fuite. Grâce au numéro d'immatriculation qu'il a eu le temps de relever, Pierre trouve le domicile des propriétaires du véhicule, les Lecain. Mais il va de surprise en surprise : les occupants de la riche villa sont les sœurs Éva et Hélène Lecain, deux jeunes femmes aux longs cheveux blonds, au physique si proche qu'on les dirait presque jumelles. Éva, la cadette, se déplace en fauteuil roulant, car elle a les jambes paralysées.
