Dany Robin (French pronunciation: [dani ʁɔbɛ̃]; 14 April 1927 – 25 May 1995) was a French actress of the 1950s and the 1960s. Nicknamed ‘la petite fiancée de la France’ (France's little fiancée) in the post-war years, she became one of the leading female stars of the 1950s, moving from the role of ‘ingénue’ to that of saucy Parisienne. She played the leading lady in Topaz (1969).
Robin was born Danielle Robin in Clamart. She won first prize in dance at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1943, followed by a first prize in comedy. After small parts, she starred alongside Louis Jouvet in Henri Decoin's Monelle in 1947, in Guy Lefranc's Une histoire d’amour in 1951, and in 1953 with Jean Marais in two comedies: The Lovers of Midnight and Julietta. Audiences fell under the spell of the young bohemian girl she portrayed in 1954 in André Hunebelle's Cadet Rousselle or as Frou-Frou. She performed with Peter Sellers in The Waltz of the Toreadors, and co-starred opposite Kirk Douglas in the 1953 romantic drama Act of Love. Robin co-starred with Connie Francis, Paula Prentiss, and Janis Paige in Follow the Boys (1963). She ended her film career after a final ambiguous role in Alfred Hitchcock's Topaz (1969): she plays the wife of a secret agent (Frederick Stafford), the mother of a daughter (Claude Jade) married to a journalist (Michel Subor), and also the mistress of a spy (Michel Piccoli). . She made her final stage appearance during the summer of 1994 in Jean Anouilh's play Le Bal des voleurs (Thieves' Carnival) as part of the Festival d'Anjou.
Robin was married to fellow actor Georges Marchal. On 25 May 1995, she and her second husband, Michael Sullivan, died in a fire in their apartment in Paris.
