Corinne Calvet Net Worth

Corinne Calvet was a statuesque and seductive French leading lady who had a tumultuous career in Hollywood. After studying at the L'ecole du cinema in Paris, she made her debut on the stage and also worked as a radio hostess. She was discovered by Hal B. Wallis and brought to America, where she was signed to a contract with Paramount in 1947. She was cast in her first Paramount picture, Rope of Sand (1949), and was praised for her sultry appeal and her sexy, husky voice. Despite her success, she was often relegated to ornamental roles. Her private life was often more dramatic than her screen career, with feuds, lawsuits, publicity stunts and even an attempted suicide. From the mid 1950's, she began to appear in international co-productions, and after the publication of her memoir in 1983, she retired from acting and became a therapist. She died in June 2001.

Biography/Timeline

1940

Calvet made her debut in French radio, stage plays, and cinema in the 1940s, before being brought to Hollywood in the 1940s by Producer Hal B. Wallis. He cast her in Rope of Sand (1949) opposite Burt Lancaster and Paul Henreid.

1950

In the 1950s, Calvet appeared in a string of films, usually playing French characters, opposite such leading men as Danny Kaye (On the Riviera), Joseph Cotten (Peking Express), Dan Dailey (When Willie Comes Marching Home), James Cagney (What Price Glory?), James Stewart (The Far Country), Alan Ladd (Thunder in the East), Tony Curtis (So This Is Paris), and twice with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis (My Friend Irma Goes West, and Sailor Beware).

1952

In 1952, Calvet sued Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor for $1 million, accusing her of slander after Gabor was quoted as saying that Calvet was not really French, but was "a cockney English girl who coldn't even speak French a few years ago". An obituary noted: "Gabor countered that Calvet's suit was without merit. The court apparently agreed because the legal wrangle quickly disappeared from the media."

1954

Calvet was married three times. Her first marriage was to actor John Bromfield (1948 – 17 March 1954), who had co-starred with her in Rope of Sand and whom she claimed had been ordered to marry her by his studio. She then married Jeffrey Stone (1955–1960) and Robert J. Wirt (1968 – October 1971). All three marriages ended in divorce. She had a son with Jeffrey Stone.

1960

Upset with her treatment in Hollywood, in 1960, Calvet "decided to return to France to make her headquarters".

1982

She continued to act in Italian and French productions, as well as making appearances on American television series (Hart to Hart and General Hospital), with occasional roles in films. Her last film was The Sword and the Sorcerer in 1982.

1983

In her memoir, entitled Has Corinne Been a Good Girl? (1983), she stated that the roles she played for Hollywood studios never challenged her acting ability. In 1958, referring to being cast as a French temptress, she told an interviewer, "If I had come to Hollywood as a dramatic Actress, I never would have been Corinne Calvet, and you never would have been sitting here talking to me."

2001

Calvet died June 23, 2001, in Los Angeles of a cerebral hemorrhage. She was survived by a son, Michael.
