So, Josselyn Yvonne René Mercier is exactly the same name Michelle (this pseudonym) was born in the family of a pharmacist and an Italian, she was the eldest girl in the family, even Joslin had a younger sister named Michel. Mercier grew up in a full-fledged, but not particularly happy family, the girl had a willful character, her parents did not understand and she sought solace from her younger sister and grandfather.
As a child she attended a ballet school and achieved notable successes in this field, but rejecting the courtship of one famous theatrical meter, Michelle was put in disgrace and with a career the ballerina had to say goodbye. Over time, Sister Mercier died.
One day, Michelle's father, a well-known and wealthy pharmacist, introduces the future outstanding French actress to the director who takes the girl for filming in her film.
Until 1963, she starred in Italian and English films and became known in these countries, but she still does not know herself at home. In 1963 she was asked to play a major role in the adaptation of the novel by Anna and Serge Golon "Angelica" and she agrees, since then the actress in the world is known exclusively in the role of Angelica, although after that she played in more than 50 films.
But back to the personal life of Mercier, so, a girl of 19 years, she is in love with her one-year-old and for a short time they live together, but the eccentricity of the young man makes Michelle flee from him to Rome. Despite some frustrations in these relations, the girl still calls and waits for her lover here, and in the meantime she is invited to an audience by the Shah of Iran, where the monarch invites her to marry him, but she refused.
Soon Michelle during the next filming gets to know her first husband, an American, the second assistant to the director Andre Smaggi. She fell in love with him to the ears and gave herself completely. The couple quickly marries, but her husband leaves his wife for the sake of another film and leaves for six months.
All the time he does not call his beautiful wife, and she does not know what to do next, because for Michelle the family was in the foreground, and Andre first has a job. The young wife begins to act in films and earns decent money, and he, coming from time to time with those or other shootings, complains that he is not perceived, his creativity is not claimed, and of course, Michel, as a decent woman calms him , and he begins to drink.
Mercier and Smaggi live in such a rhythm for a long time, eventually she starts to support her husband and the actress comes to the opinion that it is better to part with him and file for divorce. Andre did not want to let go of the woman who kept him and the divorce process lasted for several years, the actress was left without a penny in her pocket, because her husband was ill by legislation (he was treated several times in a psychiatric hospital) and she had him during all this period contain.
After the hour came Mercier (she played in "Angelica"), she meets her second husband, the rider Claude Buriyo. He is a famous racer, she is known as an actress, but she did not ask for personal life and after 10 years she divorced her second husband (1974). Claude began to envy the success of Mercier.
Michelle is popular, known, in demand, but not happy. And now, it would seem, when life is already twisted with two unsuccessful marriages and she has already despaired of finding her only one, fate presents her with a third, indeed, civil husband, Adrian, they did not manage to get married.
Andrian was a rich engineer and was able to take good care, so he conquered the heart of the beauty. From the previous marriage he had two children, for whom Michelle became a real mother.
To unwind, the actress goes on vacation and there she meets Adrian, who is hard at the end of his wife. They spent the rest together, and after Mercier moved along with her new love in Zurich and began to live with him. Since that moment she has completely devoted herself to a new family and has ceased to appear in films.
She felt like a mother and wanted to be her, even not for her children. At last her happy period in a life which lasted about 14 years has come, she is loved and loves, she has everything that is necessary for happiness. Adrian died of brain cancer, and she until his last breath held his hand.
All his gifts, and this is home and cars, her former mother-in-law takes away and Michelle remains at the broken trough without money with a broken heart and most importantly - the children of Adrian's mother set against Mercier.
Over time, she meets her admirer, who begins to look after her and, as always, is rich and beautiful, he is an Italian aristocrat with a good pedigree. Michelle does not immediately respond to him in return, but when he agrees, it remains for the small - his divorce from his previous wife.
Mercier moves to Italy, settles in the mansion of his admirer, he officially represents her as his future wife on social events and everything seems to be excellent. But this time there was no happy ending.
Her fan eventually did not divorce her wife and Mercier returned to Paris. She tries to act in films, even invests three million euros in book publishing, but all her undertakings are vain, she burns out with business and to somehow make ends meet, the famous French actress sells Angelica's dresses and accessories that she once bought from studio.
Despite all the life's ups and downs, she has not broken down and continues to live and enjoy life, although deep down she is unhappy, because her life has not met a man who would be an actress could become the wife and mother of his children.
