June Duprez

Dari Wikipedia, ensiklopedia gratis June Duprez (14 Mei 1918 – 30 Oktober 1984) adalah seorang aktris film Inggris. Putri pemain vaudeville Amerika Fred Duprez, dia lahir di Teddington, Middlesex, Inggris, saat serangan udara di bulan-bulan terakhir Perang Dunia I. Dia mulai berakting di masa remajanya dengan sebuah perusahaan teater dan membuat film pertamanya, The Crimson Circle, pada tahun 1936. Film berikutnya, The Cardinal (1936), juga sukses, dan dia memiliki peran kecil dalam The Spy in Black (1938), tetapi film keempatnya, The Four Feathers (1939), yang membuatnya menjadi bintang. Puncak kesuksesannya datang dengan film fantasi terkenal The Thief of Bagdad (1940), yang ia buat untuk Alexander Korda. Korda mengambil alih karirnya setelah titik ini dan membawanya ke Hollywood di mana dia menetapkan harga yang diminta sebesar $50.000 per film. Namun, karena Duprez belum mencapai tingkat popularitas di Amerika seperti di Inggris, taktik Korda hanya membuatnya keluar dari persaingan untuk sebagian besar peran. Dia muncul di Little Tokyo, U.S.A. (1942), Tiger Fangs (1943), None But the Lonely Heart (1944) dan The Brighton Strangler (1945) sebelum tampil baik di tengah-tengah pemain ansambel papan atas dalam versi film Agatha Christie karya René Clair, And Then There Were None (1945). Setelah beberapa film lagi, Duprez pensiun. Penampilan film terakhirnya adalah di One Plus One (1961). Dia pensiun dari dunia akting ketika dia menikah untuk kedua kalinya pada tahun 1948, seorang olahragawan kaya. Persatuan tersebut menghasilkan dua anak perempuan tetapi berakhir dengan perceraian pada tahun 1965. Duprez tinggal di Roma, Italia, selama beberapa tahun, kemudian kembali ke London untuk menjalani sisa hidupnya. Dia meninggal di sana, setelah lama sakit, pada usia 66 tahun.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia June Duprez (14 May 1918 – 30 October 1984) was an English film actress. The daughter of American vaudeville performer Fred Duprez, she was born in Teddington, Middlesex, England, during an air raid in the final months of World War I. She began acting in her teens with a theatre company and made her first film, The Crimson Circle, in 1936. Her next film, The Cardinal (1936), was also a success, and she had a small role in The Spy in Black (1938), but it was her fourth film, The Four Feathers (1939), that made her a star. Her peak of success came with the landmark fantasy film The Thief of Bagdad (1940), which she made for Alexander Korda. Korda took charge of her career after this point and took her to Hollywood where he set her asking price at $50,000 per movie. However, as Duprez had not yet achieved the level of popularity in America that she had in Britain, Korda's tactic only served to place her out of contention for most roles. She appeared in Little Tokyo, U.S.A. (1942), Tiger Fangs (1943), None But the Lonely Heart (1944) and The Brighton Strangler (1945) before performing well amid a top ensemble cast in René Clair's film version of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (1945). After a few more motion pictures, Duprez retired. Her final credited film performance was in One Plus One (1961). She retired from acting when she married for a second time in 1948, a wealthy sportsman. The union produced two daughters but ended in divorce in 1965. Duprez lived in Rome, Italy, for several years, then returned to London to live out the remainder of her life. She died there, after a long period of illness, at age 66.
