Lopez made her first of two French-language films following which she appeared in several Italian swashbucklers with American stars such as Steve Reeves and Lex Barker that were commercially successful and for which she received favorable reviews.

Diagnosed with leukemia, Lopez died a few months after she withdrew while working on the set of a film Voulez-vous danser avec moi? (which was posthumously released a month later) with Brigitte Bardot.
