[3] Luchaire left school to join the drama class of Raymond Rouleau[1] and made her acting debut under the name Rose Davel at the age of 16 in a play written by her grandfather, Altitude 3 200.

There, she met Otto Abetz, the future German ambassador to Paris, who married her father's secretary, Suzanne, who until 1939 had been his mistress.

[1][4] She became a well-known, piquant French actress, and she benefited during the Occupation from the political and social position of her father, the editor of Les Temps Nouveaux, and Toute la vie.

She and her father, latterly Minister of Information in the French Government, then escaped to Merano in Italy, but they were arrested in May 1945 and imprisoned at Fresnes.

[4][8][13][14] In 1949, Luchaire published her autobiography, titled Ma drôle de vie (My funny life), about her stardom and the German occupation.
