Belgian actress who played sexpot roles in the 1950s and 60s and was a regular on the New York City social scene for decades. She also appeared on a number of game shows of that era, including Password and To Tell the Truth. Supposedly, she suggested that a young night club performer named Ronnie Walken change his name to Christopher Walken.

Age 92

I didn't know that. It was a good move. I think my favorite Christopher Walken movie is Dead Zone.

Here she is with a pal at the world premiere of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' in 1977.
