Agnes Laurent French Actress From Lyon, France Rival of Brigitte Bardot

Agnes Laurent, born Josette Choleur, was a late 1950s and 1960s French film actress who made a splash in the U.S. motion picture industry. She was also featured in such American pinup/men's magazines as Playboy and Scamp. There's not much out there in terms of interviews with Laurent but I have uncovered several clippings with dialogue of conversations she had with gossip reporters like Dororthy Kilgallen. Among these is an amusing piece in which Laurent discusses a fictional date with actor Marlon Brando. Making the majority of her films in France, the actress' best known role was in the British comedy "A French Mistress".
