When just a few month old, Carmencita Johnson started appearing in the "Our Gang" shorts. As a child she appeared in some of the better known silent features such as Quand la chair succombe (1927), La conquête de Barbara Worth (1926), and Le vent (1928). She worked in many films in the 30's, and in the 40's she modeled some, acted, and was an occasional stand-in for Lana Turner. She swam in Esther Williams aquatic movies. Probably her best known scene was on the last movie she worked on, Une place au soleil (1951). Besides being one of the Liz Taylor's friends, Carmen doubles for Shelley Winters when the Montgomery Clift character murders Alice Tripp by pushing her into the lake (or did he?) in Une place au soleil (1951). Carmencita married in 1949 and soon thereafter retired from film work. She and her husband Jack Robertson moved to Ojai, California, in 1961, where she became a tireless supporter of the arts. She helped form the Arts Advisory Board. She was selected Ojai Valley Woman of the Year in 1985, and was the longtime publicist for artist George Stuart. A number of the films Carmen appeared in have been "lost" including the Academy Award winning movie Quand la chair succombe (1927). She died in a car accident in September 2000.
