short biography

Gisselle Pascal was born on September 17, 1921 in a poor family in the south of France (Cannes). Parents worked at the grocery store and lived in very cramped conditions, so the girl had to earn her own living. She graduated from the stenographer's courses and got a job as a secretary.

Secretly from the parents, young Gisselle attended a dance school. This allowed her to get into the art world. It was in the dance hall that she met with director Mark Allegre. He recommended her to the theatrical group "Claude Dauphin", in which her debut in 1941 took place.

After that, Giselle Pascal, a photo of which is presented in this material, will try his hand at the cinema. In addition, the girl has become more famous for her novels with famous people. They will be discussed later.

The actress died on 02.02.2007. At that time she was eighty-five years old.

Creative way

The film debut of Giselle Pascal took place in 1942. The young actress was chosen in the partner's well-known comedian Jules Remu for the painting "The Arlesian". The decisive aspect in choosing an actress was not her beauty, but the Provencal accent, which ideally suited the character's image.

Then the young girl was invited only to the role of windy beauties. This did not allow her to reveal her talent to the fullest. Only in the fifties of the twentieth century, Giselle was able to translate dramatic images into movies. Since the sixties of the last century, the famous actress has devoted herself to television. By the eighties of the twentieth century, she returned to the cinema, embodying age roles.

So Giselle Pascal, films with which participation have entered into the world classics, from images of the windy beauty has passed to acute characters.

List of famous paintings with the participation of the actress:

• "The two are shy";
• "Lady and her flirtation";
• "Infinite Horizons";
• "Mademoiselle from Paris";
• "Pity for vampires";
• "The Iron Mask";
• "Investigation of Commissioner Megre";
• "At the top of the stairs";
• "Public Woman".

In total, the actress starred in thirty-eight paintings.

Personal life

Interest in Giselle Pascal from the press came not only thanks to her work in the cinema. Journalists were much more attracted by information about her novels with famous people.

Once in Cannes, the actress met with the famous singer Yves Montand, who at that time was experiencing a break with Edith Piaf. Between people a passionate romance was being written about, which was written by all the mass media. The novel faded away as quickly as it had arisen.

At the same time, the attention of the actress persistently sought Renie Grimaldi (Prince of Monaco). Soon, the couple began to appear together in public and announced their engagement. The family interfered with the family of the prince, whose representatives did not want to admit kinship with the poor Italian emigrants. The reason for parting was the news that Giselle could not have children. This information threw the thirty-year-old actress into a depression, and Rainier found a substitute for himself in the person of the famous Grace Kelly.

In 1953, fate brought the actress with Hollywood handsome Gary Cooper. Their relations were written by the press of the whole world. The novel ended, as soon as the wife and daughter arrived to the actor.

Happiness in his personal life came with the appearance of the French actor Raymond Pellegren in it. He persistently took care of the actress, divorced his first wife to connect his fate with Giselle. In marriage, their daughter Pascal was born. It happened in 1962, when the actress turned forty-one years old. This event brought happiness to the spouses and dispelled the myth of the infertility of Giselle.

The husband survived his chosen one for only six months, dying after her on October 14, 2007 at the age of eighty-two.
