Pascale Petit, born in Paris on February 27, 1938, started her movie career playing a small part in Raymond Rouleau’s remarkable Les Sorcières de Salem (1957); based on Arthur Miller’s drama The Crucible (1953), the film’s screenplay was written by none other than Jean-Paul Sartre. The following year, her portrayal of a wayward young woman moving in Parisian existentialist-nihilist circles—alongside Pierre Brice and Jean-Paul Belmondo—in Marcel Carné’s Les Tricheurs made her a star. From 1957 to 1975, she had major roles in more than thirty motion pictures, among them two Westerns.

Between a rock and a hard place: Petit holds her ground in Joe … cercati un posto per morire! (Giuliano Carnimeo, 1968, literally “Joe … Find Yourself a Place to Die!”) and in Yumurcak Küçük Kovboy (Guido Zurli, 1973, literally translated “Brat, the Little Cowboy”).

Her career highlights include leadings parts in movies directed by luminaries such as Carné, Henri Verneuil (L’Affaire d’une nuit, 1960), Alberto Lattuada (Lettere di una novizia, 1960), and Mario Bava (Quante volte … quella notte, 1971). Lowlights: two flicks by Austrian schlockmeister Franz Antel (Die Wirtin von der Lahn, 1967, Frau Wirtin hat auch einen Grafen, 1968), and Mario Imperoli’s Le dolci zie (1975), an in(s)ane comedia (un)sexy all’italiana, after which Petit wisely said adieu to the silver screen (at least for the remainder of the seventies).
