DANY ROBIN

Former film actress Dany Robin, heartthrob of generations of young Frenchmen in the late 1940s and 1950s, died May 25 in a fire at her Paris home, French television said. She was 68.

Robin's male companion, a Briton identified by the France-2 channel as Michael Sullivan, was critically injured. The cause of the blaze was not immediately known.

Robin, a petite blonde who was originally a dancer with the Paris Opera troupe, was a favorite of top directors such as Marcel Came and Rene Clair when they sought an actress to play the role of a naive young girl in love.

She acted in a string of light film dramas and comedies including "Frou-Frou" in 1955. Robin's last appearance was in Alfred Hitchcock's "Topaz" in 1969.
