Nina Borget, born in Nice, France as Countess Nina De Ravenne, came to the United States in 1922 with her mother, a retired Monaco opera singer, and her three brothers, actors Charles De Ravenne (1917-1977), Raymond De Ravenne (1901-1950) and Arthur Dulac (1903-1962). The family settled in the Whitley Heights section (2022 Holly Hill Terrace) of Hollywood. Borget appeared on stage in local Los Angeles productions and numerous films beginning in 1933, usually in bit parts as a French maid or other such roles. Her first film was in the Katherine Hepburn starrer Little Women (1933), playing a housekeeper. Among her fifty other film credits are Sylvia Scarlett (1935), Madame X (1937), The Buccaneer (1938), When Worlds Collide (1951), and To Catch a Thief (1955). In addition, she would occasionally work behind the scenes, such as teaching French to Bob Hope and Rhonda Fleming for their roles in The Great Lover (1949). As a Countess, she was active in Beverly Hills and Hollywood society, a patron of the arts, and loved music. Her charitable endeavors were widely known primarily for children’s charities. She was a member of Alliance Françoise and other organizations. Nina Borget passed away after a long illness on August 14, 1997; she was 87 years old. Borget was interred in Chandler Gardens (Sect. 8, Lot 420), under her birth name, next to her mother Charline and her three brothers.
