Roxane Berard
Roxane Berard (January 21, 1933 - December 31, 2019), was a Belgian-born actress who was the leading lady in various episodes of thirty-four different American television series between 1958 and 1967. One notable appearance was in 1964 when she played Ninette Rovel who murdered her husband Armand in the Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Fifty Millionth Frenchman." Berard had a gamine quality similar to fellow Belgian Audrey Hepburn's, with whom she was inevitably and continuously compared, especially since they resembled each other rather closely, and Berard frequently worked with a French accent. The television series in which she was the focus of individual episodes included Rawhide (with Clint Eastwood), Colt .45, Maverick (two appearances with James Garner and one apiece with Roger Moore and Jack Kelly, most notably "Game of Chance" with Garner, Kelly, and Marcel Dalio), 77 Sunset Strip, Zorro (with Guy Williams), The Deputy (with Allen Case), Have Gun - Will Travel (three episodes with Richard Boone), Bronco (with Ty Hardin), Bourbon Street Beat (with Andrew Duggan), Surfside Six, The Tab Hunter Show, Straightaway, and Get Smart.[1] Berard was a San Diego-based mural painter. She died peacefully on the last day of 2019, when she would've been 87 years old in 21 days. She loved her garden and her beloved pets who were adopted into happy homes.
