While reading the NYT today, I was struck by the obit of Pearl Cornioley, a resistance fighter during WWII, who died a few weeks ago in France.
She was the inspiration for the novel and later film CHARLOTTE GRAY, which starred Cate Blanchett.
But…given that her code name was Marie, it made me wonder. Was she also the inspiration for the 1950s DC WWII character Mlle. Marie, who was a French resistance fighter and sometimes paramour of Sgt. Rock?
A cursory skimming around of the net didn’t reveal any answers and the connection may be dubious (Marie was a French peasant girl, Cornioley was British by birth, but raised French).
Still, it’s worth a moment to stop and honor a remarkable woman and all she did 60 years ago.

Fred Hembeck and I were howling in laughter when after we both admitted, as kids, that we pronounced it, “MILLIE Marie.”
I can relate to this web site post. Your website is really a wonderful source of information and facts which I obtain for being particularly valuable. Thank you for the thoughts and make sure you keep going to publish more level of quality content. I have bookmarked your website and can look at back again usually.
Along with every thing which appears to be building within this subject material, many of your perspectives are actually quite refreshing. Even so, I am sorry, but I can not subscribe to your whole strategy, all be it refreshing none the less. It appears to us that your opinions are generally not totally validated and in reality you are your self not completely convinced of the argument. In any case I did enjoy examining it.
