Blonde actress Michèle Morgan (1920) was a classic beauty. She has been one of the most popular leading ladies of France for over five decades. The delicate, sophisticated star was especially noted for her large, expressive eyes.

Gloomy Allure

Michèle Morgan was born as Simone Renée Roussel in 1920, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. She left home at the age of 15 for Paris determined to become an actress. She began her career working as an extra in films like Mademoiselle Mozart/Meet Miss Mozart (1935, Yvan Noé) starring Danielle Darrieux, and Une fille à papa/A Daughter for Father (1935, René Guissart) with Josette Day to pay for drama classes. She studied acting under René Simon. She was noticed by director Marc Allégret who offered her a major role in the comedy Gribouille (1937), opposite the great French actor Raimu. Then came Orage (1938, Marc Allégret) with Charles Boyer, the classic romantic crime drama Le Quai des brumes/Port of Shadows (1938, Marcel Carné) opposite Jean Gabin and Michel Simon, and Remorques (1941, Jean Grémillon) again opposite Jean Gabin. These films established her as one of the leading actress of the time in French cinema. Her remote, enigmatic features and gloomy allure had audiences comparing her to a young Greta Garbo. Upon the invasion of France in 1940 by the Germans, Morgan left for the United States. She married and divorced American actor/singer William Marshall (1942-1948). Their son Mike Marshall (1944-2005) later became an actor in both France and Hollywood. Her Hollywood career proved rather disappointing. Morgan did not stand out among the other female foreign imports of that time, such as Ingrid Bergman. Nothing major came her way apart from rather routine sultry roles amid WW II surroundings in Joan of Paris (1942, Robert Stevenson) opposite Paul Henreid , Higher and Higher (1943, Tim Whelan) opposite Jack Haley and Frank Sinatra, Passage to Marseille (1944, Michael Curtiz) opposite Humphrey Bogart, and the noirish The Chase (1946, Arthur Ripley) based on a novel by Cornell Woolrich and starring Robert Cummings. After a so-so reception for these films she returned to France.

With Those Eyes

At home Michèle Morgan was treated much better and she received her the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her touching performance as the blind heroine in La symphonie pastorale (1946, Jean Delannoy) with Pierre Blanchar. Other notable films include the thriller The Fallen Idol (1948, Carol Reed) with Ralph Richardson, the sand and sandals spectacle Fabiola (1949, Alessandro Blasetti), Les Orgueilleux/The Proud Ones (1953, Yves Allégret) with Gérard Philipe, the bittersweet Les Grandes Manœuvres/Summer Manoeuvres (1955, René Clair) again opposite Gérard Philipe, and Marie-Antoinette reine de France/Marie Antoinette Queen of France (1956, Jean Delannoy). In 1950 she married her Fabiola-co-star Henri Vidal who died suddenly in 1959. They appeared together in a couple of films, including Napoléon (1955, Sacha Guitry). Later she lived together with film director and actor/writer Gérard Oury till his death in 2006.

Cravates Michèle Morgan

Michèle Morgan continued working in films throughout the 1960’s. She appeared in films like Landru (1963, Claude Chabrol) opposite Charles Denner, Il fornaretto di Venezia/The Scapegoat (1963, Duccio Tessari) with Jacques Perrin, Lost Command (1966, Mark Robson) starring Anthony Quinn, and the comedy Benjamin (1968, Michel Deville) with Catherine Deneuve and Pierre Clémenti. In 1968 she largely retired from the screen, but has occasionally returned in films like Le Chat et la souris/Cat and Mouse (1975, Claude Lelouch) with Serge Reggiani, and Stanno tutti bene/Everbody's Fine (1990, Giuseppe Tornatore) with Marcello Mastroianni. She has concentrated on painting, designing ties and writing poems. As a painter she has had several successful exhibitions in Paris. She established her own tie label Cravates Michèle Morgan in the late 1970’s. In 1977 she published her autobiography Avec ces yeux-là/With Those Eyes. In the 1980’s and 1990’s she appeared in different tv films and miniseries. Michèle Morgan was named Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur (Legion of Honor) in 1969. She also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And in 1992 she was given a Honorary César Award for her long service to the French cinema.
