Gisèle Pascal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gisèle Pascal (17 September 1921 - 2 February 2007) was a French actress and a former lover of Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.
She was born Gisèle Marie Madeleine Tallone at Cannes in France. Her first movie role was in 1942's L'Arlésienne.
For six years, she was involved in a relationship with Prince Rainier, but a contemplated marriage was called off when a medical examination reported that she was infertile. It is widely believed that this was publicized by Rainier's sister, Princess Antoinette of Monaco[citation needed], who had plans to oust her brother from power and replace him with her own son, Christian de Massy[citation needed].
Pascal subsequently married actor Raymond Pellegrin on 8 October 1955 and bore him a daughter, Pascale Pellegrin, on 12 September 1962.
