  3. Where She Was Born Saint-Mande, France is the birth place of the 1903 actress, Lilly, later Claudette Colbert. • In 1906 he father decided to move them into the United States.

  4. Occupation • When I first arrived in the United States, I was only 3. Therefore I did not work. Later on in her years, I became a Broadway actress. • I went to a major acting school, there I became a famous actress. This is where I adopted the name Claudette. • My contribution was my talent. I made people fall in love with me at every show. Broadway adopted a talent that was unbeatable.

  5. Other Facts • I married actor Norman Foster and later divorced. Then remarried in 1935 to Dr. Joel Pressman. After my dear husband died, I left for Speightstown, Barbados. I began acting again in Barbados until my death in 1996.

  6. Performances • Some of the plays I performed in are as follows; • For the Love of Mike • The Hole in the Wall • Manslaughter • Along with many others. I was a highly credited actress and played alongside of many great actors/actresses.

  7. For the Love of Mike • A silent romance performed in 1927, directed by Frank Capra. This was my debut play. I played the role of Mary. This film however, was referred to as a great ‘flop’ in productions. After this production I vowed to ‘never make another film.’ Two years later I signed with Paramount Pictures.

  8. The Hole in the Wall • This was my second big production. I played the staring role of Jean Oliver. Jean Oliver was sent to prison on a false charge. She wants to get even. She disguised herself and planned to kidnap her daughter and turn her into a thief! A secret love with a gangster known as “Mr. Fox” and a grant complete her plan. This play is the epitome of deception.

  9. Manslaughter • A more popular production that I performed in. She played the staring role of Lydia Thorne, who ran over, and killed a man in a car accident. Selfish and wild, it was very brave of me to take the role of a stuck up brat. But, I always had a way of making even the most insensitive and selfish characters find a heart.

  10. “Some women think if you don’t expect too much you wont be let down. I always except miracles. Sure, I’m let down. But they’re near miracles.” • -Claudette Colbert
