Zanuck in 1956 when he moved to Paris to follow young actress Bella Darvi, a young woman the Zanucks met in Paris in 1951 and subsequently sponsored for a brief period in Hollywood. She was never divorced from Zanuck; and although they had almost no personal contact after 1956, she retained her married name and resided alone in their Palm Springs home (basically unchanged) until her death in 1982.

She is buried with her husband, Darryl Zanuck, in Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California. Plot information for her is Section D.
