Biography

Dalbert was born in Paris, France and moved to the United States, following World War II. She was discovered by the Paramount studio head Hal Wallis who hoped to develop her into a major star. She was cast in a supporting role in The Accused but was left demoralised at her treatment by the overbearing director William Dieterle.[3]

Dalbert did not develop as a leading star but she appeared in a mixture of small roles in larger-budget films while playing the female lead in B Pictures, such as Trail of the Yukon (1949). In 1949, she participated in a later famous Life magazine photo layout, in which she posed with other up-and-coming actresses, Marilyn Monroe, Lois Maxwell, Cathy Downs, Enrica Soma, Laurette Luez and Jane Nigh. From 1951 onwards, she appeared mostly in television before retiring in 1957 and returning to her native France.
