Marcelle Pradot
Marcelle Pradot (born Marcelle Marie Claire Pénicaud, or Pénicaut, 27 July 1901 – 24 June 1982) was a French actress who worked principally in silent films. She was born at Montmorency, Val-d'Oise, near Paris. At the age of 18 while she was taking classes in dancing and singing in Paris, she was asked by Marcel L'Herbier to appear in his film "Le Bercail" (1919). She went on to appear in a further eight of L'Herbier's silent films, and then
rich neighbour Juan, who is in love with a naïve young friend of theirs, Clarisse. Their plot fails; the Comtesse kills herself at a ball, and her lover re-covers her face with its mask.
