Two for the Seesaw
She made her film debut in "Thirteen at the Table" ("Treize à table", 1955), but it was with theatre that she was beginning to attract the attention of critics. Her performance in a revival of Jean Cocteau's play "La Machine à écrire" in 1956 was admired by the author who called her "The finest dramatic temperament of the Postwar period". In 1958, Luchino Visconti directed her opposite Jean Marais in a French stage adaptation of William Gibson's "Two for the Seesaw".
