Diminutive character actress, on stage from 1921, who played strange, eccentric old ladies on television in the 1950's and 60's. Her smiling, narrow-eyed countenance was usually inscrutable to betraying either evil or benevolence. Best in fantasy or sci-fi, such as Au-delà du réel (1963), Les envahisseurs (1967) or Ma sorcière bien aimée (1964).
