biography
Trained for the ballet, French leading lady Dany Robin entered films as an actress in 1946 and became the romantic ingénue of choice for directors like Marcel Carne and Rene Clair. Her first real break was Clair's Le Silence est D'Or (also known as Man About Town) (1947), in which she was cast opposite Maurice Chevalier. Though the greater portion of her film work has been in France, Dany was seen in the 1961 British comedy Waltz of the Toreadors and the American productions Follow the Boys (1963) and Topaz (1969, her last film). Dany Robin has been married to film actor Georges Marcha and producer Michael Sullivan.
