The actress Marie Marquet studied acting at the Conservatoire and was
supported by Sarah Bernhardt to become an actress.
It soon followed first theater engagements and she took part in plays
like "La cathédrale" and "L'Aiglon".

will join the Resistance. Her son fled but was arrested in Spain and brought
to Buchenwald where he died in 1944.
