Alice Cocéa

Although born in Romania, Cocéa came to France as a young teen before making her professional debut on the stage.

[3] She worked before, during, and after her marriage to Count Stanislas but announced her retirement shortly after her fiancé's death in 1932, stating that she would join a convent.

[6] During World War II, Cocéa was arrested as a Nazi collaborator,[7] and later released.

[14] In 1932 her fiancé, Lt. Victor Point, a French explorer and nephew of Philippe Berthelot, killed himself in Agay (a village in Saint-Raphaël in the French Riviera) when Cocéa declined to marry him; he died after shooting himself in the mouth.

[4] She was reportedly the mistress of Roger Capgras, who rose from being a vegetable dealer to head of a major newspaper during the Nazi Occupation and later a fascist-leaning theatrical figure.
