1. – Marcelle Arnold, Dédée d’Anvers, France, 1947. The first film of Henri La Barthe’s novel was planned in 1939 by realisateur Pierre Chenal. He chose Florence – his Czech-born discovery at the Sorbonne and his wife over 17 years and eight films – to play “La prostituée au perroquet.” Florence finished in – and by – Hollywood. She was blacklisted until the truth dawned that she was not the Russian nightclub chanteuse Anna Marly!
