CHARACTER ACTRESS ALICE SAPRITCH DIES

Screen, stage and television actress Alice Sapritch died Saturday of a heart attack, police said. She was 73.

The black-haired Armenian actress, born in Istanbul in 1916, cut a familiar figure on the Left Bank for decades, with a turban atop her head and cigarette held firmly between her fingers.

Sapritch worked on stage through the 1940s, appearing in "The Dialogue of the Carmelites" and "L'Aiglon." Her stage work continued into the 1970s, but her real success came in movies and television.

Her work on the screen included "Who is Polly Magoo?" in 1966, "The Folly of the Great" in 1971, "The Concierge" in 1973, "The Brontes" in 1979, and "Adam and Eve" in 1984."
