Biography

Installée aux États-Unis, elle débute au cinéma en 1934, sous le pseudonyme singulier de Margo. En tout, elle contribue à seulement treize films américains, le dernier sorti en 1962. Mentionnons L'Homme-léopard (avec Dennis O'Keefe et Jean Brooks) de Jacques Tourneur, et Face au soleil levant (avec Tom Neal, J. Carrol Naish et Robert Ryan) d'Edward Dmytryk, tous deux sortis en 1943, où elle tient le premier rôle féminin. Et dans Robin des Bois d'El Dorado (1935) de William A. Wellman, elle est à la fois actrice et danseuse (sa formation initiale), aux côtés de Warner Baxter.

En 1937, elle épouse en premières noces l'acteur Francis Lederer, mais divorce trois ans après (en 1940). Puis, en 1945, elle se remarie avec un autre acteur, Eddie Albert (resté veuf à la mort de l'actrice en 1985). Désormais connue également sous le nom de Margo Albert, elle tourne deux films de Daniel Mann aux côtés de son mari, Une femme en enfer (1955, avec Susan Hayward et Richard Conte) et L'Inconnu du gang des jeux (son dernier film, en 1962, avec Dean Martin et Lana Turner).

À la télévision, elle apparaît dans douze séries, de 1949 à 1965, année où elle se retire de l'écran (si l'on excepte des apparitions ultérieures comme elle-même).

Au théâtre, Margo joue à Broadway (New York) dans cinq pièces, disséminées entre 1935 et 1945. La première est Winterset de Maxwell Anderson, créée en septembre 1935 et représentée 195 fois jusqu'en mars 1936, avec Burgess Meredith et Eduardo Ciannelli. Elle retrouve les deux acteurs dans l'adaptation au cinéma (chacun reprenant son rôle initial), réalisée par Alfred Santell et sortie en décembre 1936, sous le même titre original (titre français : Sous les ponts de New York).

Tina Balser, an educated, frustrated housewife and mother, is in a loveless marriage with Jonathan, an insufferable, controlling, emotionally abusive, social-climbing lawyer in New York City. He treats her like a servant, undermines her with insults, and belittles her appearance, abilities and the raising of their two girls, who treat their mother with the same rudeness as their father. Searching for relief, she begins a sexually fulfilling affair with a cruel and coarse writer, George Prager, who treats her with similar brusqueness and contempt, which only drives her deeper into despair. She then tries group therapy, but this also proves fruitless when she finds her male psychiatrist, Dr. Linstrom, as well as the other participants, equally shallow and abusive.

Famed dance team, Veloz and Yolanda were uncredited choreographers for this film, while the signature rumba danced near the end by Raft and Lombard seems to be a simplified variation of rumba performed by Veloz and Yolanda themselves the year before in another Paramount film starring George Burns and Gracie Allen, "Many Happy Returns."
