French actress and dancer, appeared in 28 film productions between 1913 and 1928, including "The Woman from the Folies Bergères" starring Claire Rommer, Carl Auen, and Josephine Baker. While there are various posters (one, by artist Jean Carlu, for sale on ebay for $1,450), an advertisement for Séduction perfume by Gellé frères, and a cocktail named after her (the Pépa, a concoction of dry vermouth, cognac, vodka, Angostura bitters, and a twist of lemon), I haven't been able to find much, biography-wise. There are a number of news stories proclaiming hers the "most beautiful eyelids," "most alluring eyebrows," and "best-dressed woman in France." That last accolade was published in Regina, Saskatchewan's The Leader Post, 6 August, 1927, page 32.
Note: shares a stone with (or is memorialized on the stone of) Henri Meilhac.
