Olympe Bradna
From Wikipedia
Olympe Bradna (12 August 1920 – 5 November 2012) was a
French dancer and actress, later based in the United States for many years
until her death.
Branda appeared at 18 months of age with her parents, who
were world-famous bare back riders. At the age of eight (8) she was a successful
acrobatic dancer in a French version of Hit the Deck. Later she joined the
Folies Bergère. She danced in Stockholm, New York City and other world
capitals. She started her film career in France, then later moved to Hollywood,
California where she saw her greatest success. During her career she appeared
opposite such notables as Ronald Reagan, George Raft and Gary Cooper.
In May, 1941 Olympe married Douglas Woods Wilhoit, at which
point she retired from acting. For many years she and her family lived in
Stockton, California, before ultimately settling in Lodi, California. Together,
she and Douglas would have four children, five grandchildren and eight
great-grandchildren. They were married for over seventy years, with Douglas
passing away in February, 2012, just nine months prior to Olympe's death.
