Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Chantal Broquet

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Chantel Broquet was born in Poland sometime in 1953. She is the younger sister of model, actress Alice Arno (Marie-France Broquet) born in 1946. Growing up in a "nudist" family, she’s spent her entire career in exploitation cinema, which most often mixes horror and eroticism. She has worked for Pierre Chevalier, Claude Pierson and Jess Franco. She appeared alongside actresses such as Sandra Julien, Gilda Arancio and Lina Romay and shared the screen ten times with her sister Alice Arno. Most often confined to supporting roles, she retired in 1975 after the arrival of "hardcore" porn.

Chantal made her film debut in 1968 when she and Alice starred in “Nathalie, l’amour s'éveille”. Alice often starred in films by Jesús Franco, and Chantal was by her side. Her appearance in “Les Filles du Golden Saloon” (Girls of the Golden Saloon) in 1975 was the end of Chantal's short career. She also appeared several times on the pages of various magazines. The 1970s, thanks to the popularity of erotic images, demanded a number of girls who were not ashamed to be naked in front of the camera. Chantal was one of them, and she entered the world of film with it. Her ambitions were certainly not to win a Silver Ribbon, a Golden Globe or any other award, and so she disappeared from the world of film in 1975, with the advent of "hardcore" porn, without the media's interest. So did her sister Alice Arno two years later.
