FORMERLY IN THE COLLECTION OF PORFIRIO RUBIROSA

Odile Rodin, born Odile Marie-Josèphe Léonie Bérard, on February 21, 1937, in Lyon, France, was a French actress and model. She left Lyon and moved to Paris to study at the Conservatoire National d'Art Dramatique. Following her time there, she performed in movies and plays and appeared on the cover of international magazines, such as Paris Match. She took on the last name Rodin in reference to her physical beauty and as an allusion to the sculptor, August Rodin’s work with the human form.
Beyond her career, Rodin was the fifth and last wife of famed diplomat Porfirio Rubirosa. They met in 1955 and were soon married on October 27, 1956. Together, they were constant figures on the jet set and diplomatic scenes, socializing with important people including the Kennedys. The pair remained married until Rubirosa’s untimely death in 1965. Rodin eventually remarried and settled in United States where she lived until her passing in late 2018.
