Although Michelle Mercier will be remembered for her role as Angelica, her life has been far from idyllic.

Jocelyn, her real name, was born in Nice in 1939. On January 1, 2022, the actress will be 84 years old.

Her professional life expanded beyond the borders of France. The actress has appeared in films made in Hollywood as well as in countries such as England, Italy, and even America.

Mercier is a well-known French film actor. However, the role of the charming Angelica was what made her famous.

In 1964, she was cast as Angelica, Marquise of the Angel. This aspect, which was the most meaningful to her, changed her entire life.

This portrayal dramatically hampered her career, which unfortunately made her highly famous but also forced everyone to just know her as Angelica.

After acting in the film, she finds it much more difficult to acquire new roles.

For several years, the legendary actress has been enjoying her golden retirement on the Côte d’Azur.

She is, nevertheless, invited to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival each year and is granted the honor of being its guest of honor.

Unfortunately, the actress was unable to attend the festival in 2015 due to a fractured arm. Michelle Mercier’s 2016 was complicated further when she discovered she had major health difficulties.

During the conversation, the actress reveals her bad prognosis:

«I have cancer,» she says.

«Until it happens to you, it always seems incomprehensible.» Some people cry when they discover the truth, but I remain firm.

It is always exciting to see all of this lovely girl’s mishaps and bad fates in this never-boring movie.
