Introduction

Ursula Vian-Kübler (6 September 1928 – 18 January 2010) was a Swiss ballerina and actress.

Biography

Ursula Kübler was born on 6 September 1928 in Zürich, Switzerland to Alva Giertz and Arnold Kübler. She joined the Oper Zürich as a dancer. After a career as a dancer at the opera she danced for Maurice Béjart before becoming a company member at the Paris Opera Ballet.

After retiring from ballet, Kübler worked as a film, stage, and television actress.

She met Boris Vian at a cocktail party at Gallimard in 1950 and the two started an affair. Vian later divorced his wife and Kübler married him on 8 February 1954. In 1963 she founded the Boris Vian Association, which was renamed the Boris Vian Foundation in 1981.

In 1971 she signed the Manifesto of the 343, a petition created as an act of civil disobedience arguing for the legalization of abortion in France.
