Discovered by Joseph Canteloube, Dolène recorded Chants d'Auvergne under the pseudonym Lucie Daullène.
Her skills in acting helped her find roles in theatrical productions, including Le noir te va si bien in 1975.
She began dubbing in the 1950s, including her voice-over of Debbie Reynolds in the French film edition of Singin' in the Rain.
When the movie was released on VHS, Dolène sued the Walt Disney Company over the rights to the use of her voice.
