abstract
  • Charles Boyer was a French actor who appeared in more than 80 films between 1920 and 1976. After receiving an education in drama, Boyer started on the stage, but he found his success in American movies during the 1930s. His memorable performances were among the era's most highly praised, in romantic dramas such as The Garden of Allah (1936), Algiers (1938), and Love Affair (1939). Another famous role was in the 1944 mystery-thriller Gaslight (1944). Boyer performed comic sketches for soldiers while working as a hospital orderly during World War I. In the 1920s, he not only played a suave and sophisticated ladies' man on the stage but also appeared in several silent films. Until the early 1930s, Boyer mainly continued making French films. The offscreen Boyer was bookish and private, far removed from the Hollywood high life. But onscreen he made audiences swoon. His career lasted longer than that of other romantic actors, winning him the nickname "the last of the cinema's great lovers."
