In 1939, she and her partner Violette Morris invited Jean Cocteau to stay with them at their houseboat docked at Pont de Neuilly where he wrote the three-act play Les Monstres sacrés.[1] She was a successful stage actress but it was Cocteau who introduced her as a film actress in his 1943 film, L'Éternel retour.[2]
