Arletty
Arletty (born Léonie Bathiat) (15 May 1898 - 24 July 1992) was a French model, singer, and actress.
Born in Courbevoie, France, her early career was dominated by the music hall. In the 1930s she became associated with the growing French film industry, but was imprisoned in 1945 for having had a wartime liaison with a German officer during the occupation of France. After a moderately successful period as a stage actor in later life, an accident in 1963 left her nearly blind, forcing her to retire.
Among her best-known films are:
- Hôtel du Nord (1938)
- Le Jour se lève (1939)
- Les Visiteurs du soir (1942)
- Les Enfants du paradis (Children of Paradise, 1945)
- Huis-clos (No Exit, 1954)
- L'Air de Paris (1954)
