Nathalie Paley (December 5, 1905 – December 27, 1981) was a French actress and model of Russian noble descent. She was born Princess Natalie Pavlovna Paley in Paris, the daughter of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovich of Russia and his morganatic second wife, Olga Valerianovna Karnovich. Due to her parents' morganatic marriage, Nathalie did not hold a royal title. After the Russian Revolution, she and her mother fled to Finland, eventually settling in France.
Nathalie began her career as a model in the 1920s, working with prominent fashion houses like Chanel and appearing in Vogue. Her elegant beauty and aristocratic background quickly made her a sought-after figure in Parisian society. She transitioned into acting, appearing in several French and American films, including L'Épervier (1933), Le Lit à colonnes (1942), and The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex (1939), though often in smaller roles.
While not a major star, Nathalie worked with respected directors and actors of the era. Her film career spanned two decades, though she remained more prominent as a socialite and fashion icon.
Nathalie Paley's personal life was marked by several marriages and relationships. She was married four times: first to Lucien Lelong, the French couturier; then to Theodore Cassini, a writer and columnist; followed by a marriage to Comte Jean de Ganay; and lastly to Claude Bernheim, a banker.
Information about her social media presence from that era is understandably unavailable. News archives from the time she was active would likely offer more specific details of her activities and public appearances. However, these are not readily accessible through a simple internet search and would require deeper archival research.
Nathalie Paley is remembered for her striking beauty, her connection to the lost Russian aristocracy, and her presence in the fashion world of the 1920s and 30s. While her film career was relatively brief, her image as a stylish and elegant figure remains. She embodies a specific era of glamour and reminds us of the tumultuous history of European aristocracy in the early 20th century.
Further biographical information and potentially photographic archives might be found in historical societies dedicated to the Russian Imperial family or French cinema of the period.
