Micheline Presle, ‘Devil in the Flesh’ Star, Dies at 101

The French actress made a few films in Hollywood, including ‘Under My Skin’ with John Garfield and ‘The Prize’ with Paul Newman.

Presle came to international attention when she portrayed a nurse having an affair with a student (Gérard Philipe) in the World War I drama Devil in the Flesh (1947), which the National Board of Review voted as one of the 10 best films of the year.

Because it featured a woman who took a lover while her husband was away at war, it generated a great deal of discussion.

In 1949, Presle met American actor William Marshall, who had been married to another French star, Michèle Morgan, and followed him to America. They would wed that year in Santa Barbara.

She was signed by 20th Century Fox, which changed her surname to Prelle and cast her as a café owner who falls in love with a crooked jockey (Garfield) in Jean Negulesco’s Under My Skin (1950), based on an Ernest Hemingway short story.

he starred with Power in the Technicolor war film American Guerilla in the Philippines (1950), directed by Fritz Lang, then was loaned out to Republic Pictures to work with Flynn in The Adventures of Captain Fabian (1951). Marshall directed that film, which was shot in France from a screenplay written by Flynn.

But as these features failed to generate much heat, she and Marshall divorced in 1954, and she returned to France.

The daughter of an investment banker, Presle was born Micheline Nicole Julia Émilienne Chassagne in Paris on Aug. 22, 1922.

After a few minor roles, she scored a breakthrough with her turn as the leader of a group of girls who are distressed by their parents’ divorces in G.W. Pabst’s Young Girls in Trouble (1939). Going forward, she would adopt the surname of the character she played, Jacqueline Presle, as her stage name.

In Abel Gance’s Paradise Lost (1940), she portrayed both a mother and her daughter.
