Yvonne Suzanne Chazelles du Chaxel, better known as Dany Carrel, (born 20 September 1932[1]) is a French actress.[2] She was born in Tourane, today Đà Nẵng (Vietnam - then French Indochina) to French father Marie Yves Aimé du Chaxel,[3] a local Customs general manager,[4] and his Vietnamese mistress, Kam.[4]
She shot about 50 films and TV films from the 1950s - when she quickly became famous - to the 1990s, and also played in theatre.
She gradually retired starting from the eighties due to two bouts of cancer. In 2021, she was hospitalized for three weeks after contracting COVID-19.[5]

^ abCarrel 1991, p. 355, lettre de Huân, frère utérin de Dany Carrel à sa demi-sœur : « Maman a rencontré votre père lorsqu'elle avait dix-neuf-ans. Un jour, une superbe voiture s'est arrêtée juste devant la maison de maman, rue Hûng-Vuong. Maman est sortie pour la contempler. Votre père a aussitôt remarqué maman et l'a regardée avec un certain sentiment. Il était directeur général des douanes. Il a demandé à un ami vietnamien de lui présenter maman. Ainsi a commencé leur grand amour et leur vie conjugale... Maman avait vingt ans à la naissance d'Yvonne et dix-huit mois plus tard est née Alice. » [Translation : letter from Huân, uterine brother of Dany Carrel to her half-sister: "Mom met your father when she was nineteen. One day, a beautiful car stopped right outside Mama’s house on Hun-Vuong Street. Mama went out to contemplate it. Your father immediately noticed Mom and looked at her with a certain feeling. He was the director general of customs. He asked a Vietnamese friend to introduce him to Mom. So began their great love and married life... Mother was twenty years old at the birth of Yvonne and eighteen months later was born Alice."]
