Trivia

Penthouse Pet of the Month December 1982.

Gabrielle's father, a nudist, inspired his offspring to adhere to a "continental" attitude which is why she's never had any qualms about posing nude for photos or appearing naked onscreen.

As of August 2008 was living in southern Florida and running a porno film production company called Monique's Purrfect Productions.

Starred in adult film Bad Girls IV (1986) under the name Luana Chass (per The Bare Facts Video Guide).

In 1997 was listed as #5 of Sci-Fi's Sexiest B-Queens by "Femme Fatales" magazine.

Natural brunette who also works as a blonde or redhead.

Interviewed in the book "Invasion of the B-Girls" by Jewel Shepard.

She was cast in the comedy movie Docteurs in love (1982) and although her two lines in that film ended up on the cutting-room floor, that film made the biggest impact on her career. "Garry Marshall, the producer, said he thought I had a flair for comedy and advised me to study comedy" and followed his advice.

She had small roles in the mainstream features: Les croque-morts en folie (1982), Jan Magnussen, Docteurs in love (1982), Flashdance (1983), Hard to Hold (1984), and Fear of a Black Hat (1993).

Gabrielle achieved her greatest enduring popularity as the enticing young woman who tries to seduce Tom Hanks in the uproariously raucous'n'raunchy Le palace en folie (1984). Her most memorable roles include a pathetic junkie snitch in the terrifically trashy babes-behind-bars classic Les Anges du mal (1983), the titular brazen and uninhibited sexual adventuress in the steamy Emmanuelle 5 (1987), a sweet princess and her evil twin in Deathstalker II (1987), a nude model in the funny sketch comedy Cheeseburger Film Sandwich (1987), a gutsy lady cop in Silk 2 (1989), feisty security chief Miss Poinsettia in the amusingly campy La Créature du marais II (1989), and the nerdy, repressed Megan in the delightfully dippy Qui a peur du diable? (1992).
