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. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
