Suzanne Cloutier dies

[Jeff Wilson]

From the CBC's web site:

CBC Link

an excerpt:
"The Ottawa-born Cloutier played her most famous role - Desdemona - opposite Orson Welles in 1952's Othello. She later worked with Welles on the Paris stage and became involved in helping him gather financing for The Other Side of the Wind in 1972 and the never-completed Don Quixote."

Cloutier was featured in a quite interesting documentary on the filming of Othello, with much of the doc's theme based on her relationship with Welles at the time. She suggested that their relationship did briefly flourish before she found herself in the arms of Peter Ustinov.
Curiously enough, the often useful imdb.com lists Welles as Cloutier's husband, along with Ustinov. I don't know where they got that info, but I found it amusing...
