Jeanne Manet (born June 29, 1918) is a French film actress.[1] After appearing in some French films, Manet moved to Hollywood. Originally regarded there as a rising starlet, her roles were generally supporting ones.

During the occupation of France, Manet starred in Vive la Liberté, a film made by the French underground.[2]

In 1946, Manet wed Pat Hurst, who was then an Office of Strategic Services officer. After World War II ended, he returned to his former career of acting, and she temporarily retired. Actress Dorothy Lamour was credited with persuading Manet to leave retirement and return to acting.[3]
