Alluring Czech-born actress Hana Smekalova aka Florence Marly, of Slavic descent, initially expressed interest in becoming an opera singer. At age 18, however, she was discovered by the 33-year-old renown French director Pierre Chenal while a student of art and literature at the Sorbonne. He put her almost immediately into his film L'alibi (1937). They married the following year and she continued to figure in many of his subsequent films including The Lafarge Case (1937), Sirocco (1938) , The Last Turn (1939), The Postman Always Rings Twice (1939), The Idol (1952) and Confession at Dawn (1953). In 1942, she managed to flee Paris prior to the Nazi occupation and spent her war years in Argentina where she appeared in a couple of films. ---
