Gigi Perreau (born February 6, 1941).

Gigi Perreau is an American actress known for her work in film and television. She found success as a child actress, appearing in 25 films by the time she was 10 years old. The daughter of French refugees, Perreau started her acting career as an infant, featuring in “Madame Curie” at just 18 months old.


She entered the industry purely by chance. Her older brother, Gerald, was auditioning for the role of the title character's son in Madame Curie (1943). Since their mother couldn't find a babysitter, she brought Gigi with her. Gigi, who could speak French, was given the (uncredited) role of Madame Curie's daughter, Ève (while Gerald had to wait another year to make his film debut in Passage to Marseille).


She appears with Donna Reed in the film Green Dolphin Street (1947) and on The Donna Reed Show in "Mary's Campaign" (Season 1, Episode 26).


Perreau is a past member of the Board of Directors of The Donna Reed Foundation for the Performing Arts and was a frequent instructor at The Donna Reed Festival in Denison, Iowa.
