A leading lady of the 1940s, the tall and blonde Foch usually played
cool, aloof and often foreign, women of sophistication. As film roles
became harder to find, Foch proved to be versatile in many areas. She was
a panelist on several TV quiz shows, worked as
George Stevens' assistant
director for
Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank (1959) and
directed plays. Since the 1960s, she has been an acting teacher for USC
and the American Film Institute.
