Anglo/Swiss leading lady Rita Corday was born Jeanne Paule Teipotemarga on 20 October 1920 in Switzerland. She came to America through the auspices of an RKO Radio film contract in 1943. Sensing that she'd eventually disappear without a trace if she continued appearing in "B"s like The Falcon Strikes Back (1943) and Dick Tracy vs. Cueball (1946), Rita re-invented herself as "Paule Croset" in 1947. When her career failed to soar, she tried another moniker, Paula Corday, which is how she was billed in her final film, The French Line (1956). A few scattered TV appearances later, Croset retired to devote her time to her husband, independent film producer Harold Nebenzal. Rita Died on 23 November 1992 in Century City, Los Angeles, California after surgery.
