She was an actress and costume designer, known for Who Killed Santa Claus?(1941), The Count of Monte Cristo (1943) and Katia (1938). She was married to Jean Dasté. She died on August 28, 1994 in Beaune, Côte-d'Or, France..1955 : La Cerisaie d'Anton Tchekhov, mise en scène Jean-Louis Barrault, Théâtre des Célestins La cerisaie (1966 TV Movie) Marie-Hélène Dasté: Charlotte . Thamila Mesbah, Study: Thérèse Le Prat (1895-1966) was a French photographer. After experimenting with landscape and portrait photography, Thérèse Le Prat concentrated on photographing faces. At first, she was photographing stage actors (her first two books, Visages d’Acteurs(1950) and Autres Visages d’Acteurs(1952) are remarkable documents of the post-War theater scene in Paris.) But then her work turned more abstract – she had actors perform for her camera, at first with masks, then with makeup alone. In exploring the face, Thérèse Le Prat looked to reveal extremes of human depth and emotion. And she added words to the mix: her later books include both prose and poetry to push the exploration further. In Masques et Destins(1955), her first book of these portraits, she and her actors searched for photographic expression of the extremes they played out on stage. For Un Seul Visage en ses Metamorphoses(1964), she spent three years with the mime Wolfram Mehring and makeup artist Grillon exploring myriad ways of seeing a single face. And she continued her most expressionistic work with diverse faces until her death, after which the photographs were published as En Votre Gravité, Visages(1966). .
