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''. She was a successful stage actress but it was Cocteau who introduced her as a film actress in his 1943 film, ''L'Éternel retour''. Provided by Wikipedia
