Obituary
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Denise Darcel, the French-born actress known for vampy roles in such films as "Vera Cruz" and "Thunder in the Pines," has died. She was 87.
Darcel's son, Craig, said Monday that she died Dec. 23 at a Los Angeles hospital from complications from an emergency surgery to repair a ruptured aneurysm.
After coming to the U.S. in 1947, Darcel starred opposite several leading men in a string of films in the '50s, including "Battleground" with Van Johnson, "Tarzan and the Slave Girl" with Lex Barker, "Westward the Women" with Robert Taylor and "Young Man with Ideas" with Glenn Ford.
She most famously played a vivacious double-crossing countess in 1954's "Vera Cruz" opposite Burt Lancaster and Gary Cooper.
Darcel is also survived by another son, Chris.

I met Denise when I lived in Lauderhill, FL working as the cosmetician in Eckerds. She was my customer. Always so sweet. Even if she didnt need cosmetics, she would come in the store and yell hello over to me. It was a pleasure to know her.

I have to add a correction, that Westward the Women was released on December 31, 1951. It is indeed my most favorite Denise Darcel movie.

Ever since I saw Denise in 1949's Battleground I was hooked. And I loved her in 1950's Westward The Women. When I heard 5 years ago, on Turner Classic Movies,that she had passed away, I was sad. From many of the condolences left here it sounds like she was a really nice person too. She gave very spirited performances and I will always remember her fondly.
