-'''Georges Marchal''' (10 January 1920 – 28 November 1997) was a [[France|French]] actor.+'''Claudette Colbert''' ({{IPAc-en|k|oʊ|l|ˈ|b|ɛər}} {{respell|kohl|BAIR}}; born '''Émilie Claudette Chauchoin'''; September 13, 1903 – July 30, 1996) was a<!--Colbert's mother was of British ancestry. She grew up in Manhattan and was already naturalized in the United States in 1912. Nationality should be based on "when the person became notable" per WP:MOSBIO--> French-born American stage and film actress.
-Born Georges Louis Lucot in [[Nancy, France|Nancy]], [[Meurthe-et-Moselle]], France, the strikingly handsome Marchal was discovered in the early-1940s by director [[Jean Grémillon]]. By the early 1950s, he had become one of the top male stars of French cinema, second only, perhaps, to actor [[Jean Marais]]. He was also a favorite leading man of filmmaker [[Luis Buñuel]], appearing in the director's films ''[[La voie lactée]]'', ''[[Belle de Jour (film)|Belle de jour]]'', ''[[Cela s'appelle l'aurore]]'', and ''[[La mort en ce jardin]]''.+Colbert began her career in [[Broadway theater|Broadway]] productions during the late 1920s and progressed to motion pictures with the advent of [[Sound film|talking pictures]]. Initially associated with [[Paramount Pictures]], she gradually shifted to working as a freelance actress. She won the [[Academy Award for Best Actress]] in ''[[It Happened One Night]]'' (1934), and received two other Academy Award nominations. Other notable films include ''[[Cleopatra (1934 film)|Cleopatra]]'' (1934) and ''[[The Palm Beach Story]]'' (1942).
-In 1951, Marchal married French actress [[Dany Robin]] and together they were a popular couple, playing in the movies ''La Passagère'' (1949), ''La Voyageuse inattendue'', ''Le plus joli péché du monde'', ''Jupiter'' directed by [[Gilles Grangier]] (1952), and ''Quand sonnera midi'' directed by [[Edmond T. Gréville]] (1958).+With her round face, big eyes, charming, aristocratic manner, and flair for light comedy, as well as emotional drama, Colbert was known for a versatility that led to her becoming one of the industry's best-paid stars of the 1930s and 1940s and, in 1938 and 1942, the highest-paid star. During her career, Colbert starred in more than 60 movies. Among her frequent co-stars were [[Fred MacMurray]] in seven films (1935−49), and [[Fredric March]] in four films (1930−33).
-On television, Marchal played [[Claude Jade]]'s father in the TV-series ''[[The Island of Thirty Coffins]]'', and appeared as [[Cardinal Richelieu|Richelieu]], and [[Philippe IV]], and in adaptations of [[Balzac]], [[Victor Hugo|Hugo]], [[George Sand]] and [[Colette]].+By the early 1950s, Colbert had basically retired from the screen in favor of television and stage work, and she earned a [[Tony Award]] nomination for ''[[The Marriage-Go-Round]]'' in 1959. Her career tapered off during the early 1960s, but in the late 1970s she experienced a career resurgence in theater, earning a [[Sarah Siddons Award]] for her Chicago theater work in 1980. For her television work in ''[[The Two Mrs. Grenvilles]]'' (1987), she won a [[Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film|Golden Globe Award]] and received an [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie|Emmy Award]] nomination.

-Divorced from Dany Robin since 1969, Marchal married Michele Heyberger in 1983. He had two children, Robin and Frédérique. Marchal retired in 1989 and died, age 77, on 28 November 1997 in Maurens, Dordogne, France.+

Claudette Colbert (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell; born Émilie Claudette Chauchoin; September 13, 1903 – July 30, 1996) was a French-born American stage and film actress.

Colbert began her career in Broadway productions during the late 1920s and progressed to motion pictures with the advent of talking pictures. Initially associated with Paramount Pictures, she gradually shifted to working as a freelance actress. She won the Academy Award for Best Actress in It Happened One Night (1934), and received two other Academy Award nominations. Other notable films include Cleopatra (1934) and The Palm Beach Story (1942).

With her round face, big eyes, charming, aristocratic manner, and flair for light comedy, as well as emotional drama, Colbert was known for a versatility that led to her becoming one of the industry's best-paid stars of the 1930s and 1940s and, in 1938 and 1942, the highest-paid star. During her career, Colbert starred in more than 60 movies. Among her frequent co-stars were Fred MacMurray in seven films (1935−49), and Fredric March in four films (1930−33).

By the early 1950s, Colbert had basically retired from the screen in favor of television and stage work, and she earned a Tony Award nomination for The Marriage-Go-Round in 1959. Her career tapered off during the early 1960s, but in the late 1970s she experienced a career resurgence in theater, earning a Sarah Siddons Award for her Chicago theater work in 1980. For her television work in The Two Mrs. Grenvilles (1987), she won a Golden Globe Award and received an Emmy Award nomination.

In 1999, the American Film Institute voted Colbert the 12th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema.
