Marie-Georges Pascal

Marie-Georges Pascal was born in Cambrai in northern France. She later described her childhood as "very hard" and " very sad". Her parents, who dreamed of seeing her becoming a concert artist, forced her to spend her days playing the piano. At the age of sixteen, after the death of her mother and her father's remarriage, she left home and got a job as a model. She made her debut in 1971, appearing in Jean-Claude Roy's French classic Les Petites Filles modèles, in which she played one of the lead roles alongside Jessica Dorn, Cathy Reghin, Michele Girardon and Bella Darvi. From 1972 to early 1973 she performed six erotic films including Je suis frigide... pourquoi? with Sandra Julien, German film Hausfrauen Report international, Bananes mécaniques, with Anne Libert, Pauline Larrieu, Philippe Gasté and Patrice Valota, Quand Les Filles se Déchaînent, Les Infidèles and Les confidences érotiques d'un lit trop accueillant, with Olga Georges-Picot. In 1973, she received roles in comedy films, L'Historie Très Bonne et Très Joyeuse de Colinot Trousse-Chemise, with Brigitte Bardot and Gross Paris, and in a drama La Rage au poing, alongside Tony Gatlif. In 1974, she received the leading role in Le Dessous du ciel, playing a young woman passionate for parachuting. Mixing adventure and romance, the series was a success and substantially increased her popularity in France.
