Gisele Casadesus

Raimu, Gabin, Depardieu ... The life of Gisèle Casadesus

The actress Gisèle Casadesus started her career in 1934. She played with Raimu, Pierre Fresnay, Gabin, Romy Schneider, Depardieu, on stage as well as in cinema. Le Figaro returns to his most memorable roles.

VIDEOS - The subtle actress, honorary member of the Comédie-Française, began her incredible career in 1934, both in theater and in cinema. Since then she has worked on stage and on screen with some of the greatest filmmakers and actors.

"I was not naive, even if I played the ingenuous ...". All her life, which lasted 103 years, Gisèle Casadesus , knew with delight incarnate the kindness and the kindness on the screen. But before playing wisely confidantes, she was a seductive young first. Her career began on stage in 1934. She began in The Barber of Seville from Beaumarchais to the Comédie-Française. Like a talisman, she will keep the poster of the play all her life. The same year, she was twenty years old, Marcel L'Herbier entrusted him with a role in L'Aventurie , a feature adapted from a play by Alfred Capus.


Until 1962, she mainly devoted her talents to the theater. In French, it will interpret Marivaux ( The Game of Love and Chance ), Musset ( A Caprice ) Mauriac ( Asmodeus ), Feydeau (the turkey ), Montherlant ( La Reine Morte ) ... and of course Molière ( L 'Avare , Sganarelle or the Cocu imaginaire , Les Précieuses ridicules , Le Dépit amoureux ...). In 1962, she decided to leave the illustrious house of the Palais-Royal. The institution does not forget it since it will be appointed honorary member since 1967.

Beginning in 1970, the cinema became more and more interested in this subtle actress, in play in nuance. In 1974, Michel Deville hired him in Le Mouton enragé . The troupe of the film is exceptional: Romy Schneider, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Jane Birkin, Henri Garcin ... In 1996, it is Claude Lelouch's turn to employ the actress. She plays in Hommes, femmes mode d'emploi, then in Les amours-là in 2010 .

Jean Becker is certainly the filmmaker who best understood the compositional intelligence of the actress. After a nice role in Les Enfants du marais , the director of A Murderer Summer gave him a leading role, in 96 years, in La Tête en friche. She marvelously encamped Marguerite; an old lady who will give the taste of reading to Germain, an apparently frustrated autodidact, embodied by Gerard Depardieu. A formidable composition of which Gisèle Casadesus could have prided itself, having given the reply to Raimu, Fresnay, Gabin. His modesty prevented him.
