Giselle D'Arc

Biography

Actress, singer, and songwriter Giselle D'Arc was born Giselle Camille Prugnard in France, where she was raised. A gifted soprano vocalist with a five-octave range, D'Arc often performed opera. D'Arc sang at Notre-Dame in Paris, and, after moving to the United States, had a run at The Flamingo Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas during its heyday. While she was recording at Liberty Records, actor Jeff Chandler brought D'Arc to the attention of director-producer George Sidney, which led to her being cast in Columbia Films' biopic Jeanne Eagles. During her movie and TV career, D'Arc worked with some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Rita Hayworth, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable, and Yul Brynner.
