... Born in the family chateau at Verrières-le-Buisson, a suburb southwest of Paris, de Vilmorin was the descendant of a great French seed company fortune, that of Vilmorin. She was afflicted with a slight limp that became a personal trademark. Vilmorin was best known as a writer of delicate but mordant tales, often set in aristocratic or artistic milieus. Her most famous novel was Madame de, published in 1951, which was made into the celebrated film The Earrings of Madame de... (1953), starring Charles Boyer and Danielle Darrieux and directed by Max Ophüls. Vilmorin's other works included Juliette, La Lettre dans un taxi, Les Belles Amours, Saintes-Unefois, and Intimités. Her letters to Jean Cocteau were published after the deaths of both correspondents.
