Michèle Morgan (French:[miʃɛlmɔʁɡan]; bornSimone Renée Roussel; 29 February 1920 – 20 December 2016) was a French film actress, who was a leading lady for three decades in bothFrench cinema andHollywood features. She is considered one of the greatest French actresses of the 20th century.[1] Morgan was the inaugural winner of theBest Actress Award at theCannes Film Festival. In 1992, she was given an honoraryCésar Award for her contributions toFrench cinema.

Early life

[edit]

Morgan was born Simone Renée Roussel[2] inNeuilly-sur-Seine,Hauts-de-Seine, a suburb of Paris.[3][4] She grew up inDieppe,Seine-Maritime, France.[3][4]

Career

[edit]

Morgan left home at the age of 15 for Paris determined to become an actress.[3][5] She took acting lessons fromRené Simon while serving as an extra in several films to pay for her drama classes.[3] It was then that she took the stage name "Michèle Morgan".[3] She argued that she did not have the body type of a Simone, and "Morgan" sounded more Hollywood-friendly.[3]

Morgan was first noticed by directorMarc Allégret, who offered her a major role in the filmGribouille (1937), oppositeRaimu.[3] Then cameLe Quai des brumes (1938) directed byMarcel Carné andRemorques (1941) directed byJean Grémillon, both oppositeJean Gabin.[3]

Upon theinvasion of France in 1940 by the Germans, Morgan left for the United States and Hollywood where she was contracted toRKO Pictures in 1941.[3] Her career there proved rather disappointing, apart fromJoan of Paris (1942) oppositePaul Henreid, andHigher and Higher (1943) oppositeFrank Sinatra.[4] She was tested and strongly considered for the female lead inCasablanca butRKO would not release her for the amount of money thatWarner Bros. offered.[6] Morgan did work for Warners, however, inPassage to Marseille (1944) withHumphrey Bogart.[3]

Morgan in 1995

After the war, Morgan returned to France and quickly resumed her career with the filmLa Symphonie Pastorale (1946) directed byJean Delannoy, which earned her theBest Actress award at theCannes Film Festival.[3] Her other films from this period include;Carol Reed'sThe Fallen Idol (1948),Fabiola (1949),The Proud and the Beautiful (1953) by Yves Allégret,Les Grandes Manœuvres (1955) byRené Clair andMarie-Antoinette reine de France (1956).[4] She continued working in films throughout the 1960s, such as inLost Command (1966), a version ofLes Centurions.[4] In the 1970s, she virtually retired from her acting career, then made only occasional appearances in film, television and theatre.[4]

For her contribution to the motion picture industry, Morgan has a star on theHollywood Walk of Fame at 1645 Vine Street.[5] In 1969, the government of France awarded her theLégion d'Honneur.[5] For her long service to the French motion picture industry, in 1992 she was given anHonorary César Award.[5] In 1996, she also received theCareer Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at theVenice Film Festival.[5]

Morgan took up painting in the 1960s.[4] She had a solo exhibition, "Artistes En Lumière à Paris", from 2 March to 30 April 2009, at the Espace Cardin in Paris.[7] In 1977 she released her memoir, titledWith Those Eyes (Avec ces yeux-là).[3]

Personal life and death

[edit]

While in Hollywood, Morgan marriedWilliam Marshall (1917–1994), in 1942, with whom she had a son,Mike Marshall (1944–2005).[4] Morgan had built and owned a house at10050 Cielo Drive. Morgan and Marshall divorced in 1948. She married French actorHenri Vidal (1919–1959) in 1950. She remained with him until his death in 1959. She then lived with film director and actor/writerGérard Oury until his death in 2006.[4]

Morgan died on 20 December 2016, aged 96, inMeudon, France of natural causes.[3][4] Her funeral was held at the Église Saint-Pierre in Neuilly-sur-Seine on 23 December 2016, and she was buried at theMontparnasse Cemetery.[1][8]

Despite living to the age of 96, she technically only had 24 birthdays due to being born on 29 February.
