Nadine Alari is the daughter of songwriter Suzanne Verger, which allowed her to frequent artists of all kinds at a very early age. In the early thirties, for instance, she told poems by Jacques Prévert while the poet was not famous yet. She followed René Simon's drama course and debuted on the stage by playing sketches in a revue at Agnès Capri's cabaret. Some time later Jacques de Casembroot noticed her and presented her to filmmaker Henri Calef, which resulted in in an important role in "Jericho", one of the best post-war films about the French Resistance. In the same field, she played Monique Martin, the daughter of an ordinary Resistant in "Le Père tranquille", by and with Noël-Noël, a man she had known from her childhood. She made a good number of movies until 1952 but her appearances became more and more sparse because she privileged the theater.On the other hand she was a very active dubber, lending her distinguished voice to such stars as Kim Novak, Joan Collins, Elsa Martinelli, Eleanor Parker, Maureen O'Hara, Ava Gardner, Barbara Stanwyck...(the list could go on forever!). And television has kept her very busy as well with about seventy TV films, serials or series episodes. One of her most moving recent performances (at age 78) is the role of Adèle in Vincent Monnet's "Adèle et Kamel".- Producer
