Germaine Lefebvre, known by her stage name Capucine, began her career as a model at the age of 17. In 1948, she became a film actress, first in France, then in the United States. Her best-known role was that of Simone Clouseau, the wife of the famous detective played by Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther. Capucine has played two openly lesbian roles, in ‘Walk On the Wild Side’ (1962) where she co-stars with Barbara Stanwyck, and in ‘Fräulein Doktor’ (1969). In 1985, Capucine spoke openly about her homosexuality in an interview with Boze Hadleigh for his book ‘Hollywood Lesbians‘. Until her death in 1990, Capucine was a close friend of Audrey Hepburn, whom she met in the early 1950s.

Lizabeth Scott was an Amercian actress and singer, known as a film noir star during the 1940s and 1950s. She started a career as a model and acted on Broadway before transitioning to films in Hollywood. Of her 22 films, she was the leading lady in all but three.

Some of her most famous roles were in The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), Dead Reckoning (1947), Desert Fury (1947, see gifs below), and Too Late for Tears (1949).

Although entertaining public affairs with men, Lizabeth Scott never married and apparently lived as a single woman. She was in the midst of a scandal in 1954 when tabloids claimed she was a lesbian whose name had been listed in "the little black books kept by Hollywood prostitutes". She was also said to have frequented famous lesbian nightclubs in Paris and mingled with Frede, a famous lesbian entertainer.

The film All About Eve (1950) starring Bette Davis and Anne Baxter was said to be based on the relationship between Tallulah Bankhead and Lizabeth Scott, which in turn sparked rumours of a romance between them (or was it the other way around?).
