In Panic , adapted novel of Georges Simenon, Engagement of Mr Hire , it camps with talent its role of perverse girl. But its character starts with démoder. She will still make a beautiful composition and a colourful participation in the Business of the poisons of Henri Decoin, where she incarnates the Neighbor.

Then connecting the unfortunate services in the few films that it produces, and of which none passed to the posterity, it will find Jean Gabin in Mélodie in basement , in a role in the form of last wink to all these prostitutes which it incarnated with the screen.

Victim of money worries, it sells most of its goods and withdraws with Gaude on the Riviera. It reappears in 1961 for a theater tour in several provincial towns, playing Coconut of Marcel Achard.
