BIOGRAPHY AND PERSONALITY OF A FAMOUS VIRGO: MAURICE CHEVALIER
(born Sept. 12, 1888, Paris—died Jan. 1, 1972, Paris) debonair French musical-comedy star best known for witty and sophisticated films that contributed greatly to the establishment of the musical as a film genre during the early 1930s. Characterized by a suave manner and using a cane and tilted straw hat and an exaggerated French accent as his trademarks, he also gained international fame as a stage personality.
Chevalier made his debut as a Parisian café singer in 1901. By the 1920s he was a famous entertainer in French musical revues and appeared in French films. His first Hollywood film, The Innocents of Paris (1929), was the prototype of the popular gay and charming musicals that followed, in which he often co-starred with Jeanette MacDonald—e.g., The Love Parade (1930), One Hour with You (1932), Love Me Tonight (1932), and The Merry Widow (1934). During World War II his popularity suffered because he continued to entertain in German-occupied France and on tour, but after the war he was cleared of suspected collaborationist activities. His later motion pictures included Love in the Afternoon (1957), Gigi (1958), Can-Can (1960), and Fanny (1961). In 1958 Chevalier was awarded a Special Academy Award for his more than 50 years of contributions to the entertainment field.
