What Canadian actress was tired of being appreciated for her beauty only and decided to star in two films noirs, Brute Force and Criss Cross as a more serious actress?

Yvonne de Carlo made her feature film debut in Salome, Where She Danced, a Universal Pictures production directed by Walter Wanger, who called her "the world's most beautiful girl." The film's success elevated her to stardom and she went on to appear in opulent Technicolor films including Frontier Gal and Slave Girl. Her career peaked when Cecil B. DeMille cast her as Moses' Midianite wife, Sephora, in his historical epic The Ten Commandments.
