Paris-born beauty Corinne Calvet made a big splash in Hollywood in the early 1950s with her sultry looks and acting ability.

Corinne Calvet plays the homespun, tomboyish, freckle-faced, French-Canadian lass who falls for Stewart and is up against the more tough-minded worldly woman Ruth Roman for his attention. Jay C.

In 1952 Calvet filed a lawsuit accusing actress Zsa Zsa Gabor of slandering her in telling several people, including a newspaper columnist, that Calvet was not really French. Gabor contended that Calvet's suit was without merit. It was unclear what happened to the suit but it quickly disappeared from the headlines.
