Paulette Duval

Before joining the Follies, the French beauty was engaged with the Scandals dance productions of George White.

The MGM motion picture featured many of the clothes the French actress brought from Paris as well as evening attire and furs furnished by the studio costume department.

Maurice Gebber, a fur importer, made the muffs from Russian sable after a design by Paulette Duval.

In 1952 Paulette's daughter Jacqueline made her movie debut in Red Ball Express, which features Jeff Chandler and Alex Nicol.

Jacqueline is shown pedaling away on a French bicycle in the opening shot of the Universal International feature.
