Today, we will talk about such an actress, gifted, brilliant and long forgotten. Jaubert Marlene. What was her career? What is interesting about her personal life?
Childhood
The future actress and fashion model Jobert Marlene was born on November 4, 1940. She was born in Algeria, which at that time was a province of France, in the most ordinary family.

Passing training at the conservatory, she liked many directors, but they did not dare to invite her to their movies, as the girl had no experience, even stage. That is why in 1963 she became a member of the troupe of the Drama Theater in Paris, and for several years honed her talents on stage.
