Georges Grey

Georges Grey, sometimes credited as George Grey, was born as Jean-Joseph-Georges Gacon in Lyon, France in 1911. He made his film debut in a bit part as a young Hungarian in Sacha Guitry's Les perles de la couronne/The Pearls of the Crown (1937). The following year, Grey played a much larger role as a charming Hollywood matinee idol in Paris in Guitry's Quadrille/ 2 x 2 = 4 (1938, Sacha Guitry), in which he gained additional attention in a non full-frontal nude scene. Guitry cast him again as a prince in Remontons les Champs-Élysées/Let us go back to the Champs Elysees (1938, Sacha Guitry) and in another supporting part in Ils étaient neuf célibataires/Nine Bachelors (1939, Sacha Guitry). Although Grey was obviousl;y a favorite of Guitry's, he also worked as well as with several other directors. He appeared in Narcisse (1940, Ayres d'Aguiar) featuring Rellys, Monsieur Hector/Mr. Hector (1940, Maurice Cammage) starring Fernandel, and La fille du puisatier/The Well-Digger's Daughter (194
