	Actors - Martine Carol

Martine Carol (May 16, 1920 – February 6, 1967) was a French film actress.

Born Marie Louise Jeanne Mourer in the resort town of Biarritz, Pyrénées-Atlantiques, she studied acting under René Simon (1898-1966), making her stage debut in 1940 and her first motion picture in 1943. One of the most beautiful women in film, she was frequently cast as an elegant blonde seductress. During the late 1940s and early 1950s she was the leading sex symbol and a top box office draw of French cinema.

Despite her fame and fortune, Martine Carol's personal life was filled with turmoil that included a suicide attempt, drug abuse, and four marriages.

She died at the age of forty-four of a reported heart attack in a Monte Carlo hotel room and was interred in the Cimetière du Grand Jas in Cannes, France.
