Gérard Philipe
Biography
Gérard Philipe was an actor who turned to the stage after leaving school in 1940, when his parents had wanted him to become a lawyer. His mother spotted his interest in acting, and after Mark Allégret decided he showed promise, he made his debut in Claude Dauphin's play One Plain Girl; he went on to study at the conservatory, and his feeling for music helped him build his characters. Georges Lacombe gave him a part in Land Without Stars, and the favorable reviews made him a star. He took prominent roles in films including Fan-Fan the Tulip (1952), The Red and the Black (1954), The Idiot, Devil in the Flesh, The Charterhouse of Parma, Such a Pretty Little Beach, Juliette, or The Key of Dreams, Beauties of the Night, The Best Part and The Gambler. He died in 1959.
