[edit] Biography

Born as Tamara Brodsky[citation needed], the daughter of actress Xenia Desni, Tamara Desni was born in Berlin.

She married a dentist while a teenager, although they divorced before Desni landed her first acting role in 1931 in the musical White Horse Inn. She followed this up with another leading role in the musical Casanova, featuring music by Johann Strauss, Jr.

Desni's film career began in 1933 with Falling for You, and continued through 1950. Other film credits include Dick Barton at Bay, The Torso Murder Mystery, Fire Over England and Hell's Cargo.

[edit] Marriages

She met her second husband, actor Bruce Seton, on the set of Blue Smoke in 1934. They married in 1936, but divorced in 1940. She next married film producer Bill Gillett, though he did not survive World War II. Her fourth marriage was to the Canadian-born actor Raymond Lovell in 1947, the two separating some time later.

In France, she met Albert Lavagna, a builder. They built the popular inn L'Auberge Chez Tamara, marrying in 1956, shortly after Desni discovered she was pregnant for the first time. They had two daughters.

[edit] Death

Desni's health began declining while in her late eighties. She died, a widow, on February 7, 2008 in Valence d'Agen, France, aged 94.
