A native of Neuilly-sur-Seine, Simone Renee Roussel took this pseudonym when she was only fifteen. She graduated early from drama classes and already in 1935 began to appear on the screen. Success did not keep itself waiting. After several appearances as a statistician (“Mademoiselle Mozart”, “Paris Life”, “Mayerling”), the young debutante got a role in the movie “Baby”, and then in two more pictures: “Daughter for the Father”, “My Aunts and I” . She was noticed. In a thin, half-childish figure of an aspiring actress, in a gentle face with huge transparent eyes there was some special, fragile charm.

Brilliantly started the career of a young artist was interrupted by the war. After the triumph of the Quay of the Mists, Michel Morgan managed to appear in several other films. Noteworthy, two of them – Fader’s “Law of the North” and Gremion’s “Tugboats” entered as a classic in the history of French cinema.

Then, along with many actors and directors, she left the occupied Paris for the United States of America. Hollywood met the French “star” hospitably: she already had a world name. And yet she did not feel well there.

“I lived comfortably, in a pleasant environment,” the artist says. “But it seemed to me that I was doing something useless.” I starred in bad films, played bad roles. I had only one desire – to return to France. ”

In 1946 this desire came true. Michelle Morgan left America without regrets. She left there an unhappy marriage, baleful contracts with producers and unsuccessful films about a war that American filmmakers did not know well (Joan in Paris, Two Tickets to London, The Passage to Marseilles, and others).

In postwar France Michelle Morgan quickly won the position of “actress number 1”. The first film, in which she appeared on her return home, brought her the Great International Prize at the Cannes Film Festival (1946). It was the “Pastoral Symphony” by Jean Delannoy – the adaptation of André Gide’s novel. In the role of the blind pupil of Pastor Gertrude, who became the object of passion of his spiritual father, Michelle Morgan again captivated the audience with grace and noble simplicity of the play.

Since childhood, the image of Michelle Morgan for me has been something distant and impossible beauty. I remember the published footage from the film “Port of Shadows” in magazine “Actors of foreign cinema”, and the unforgettable scene, where she is with Jean Gabin.
