dbo:abstract
  • Marcel Hillaire (* 23. April 1908 in Köln als Erwin Ottmar Hiller; † 1. Januar 1988 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien) war ein deutscher Schauspieler, der von 1948 bis zu seinem Tod in den USA lebte. In seinen englischsprachigen Filmen zeichnete er sich durch einen deutsch-französischen Akzent aus. Hillaire wich dem Holocaust des NS-Staates aus, indem er einen Künstlernamen annahm und sich mit Theatergruppen ständig auf Reisen befand. Später trat er unter seinem Geburtsnamen in die Verwaltung der Organisation Todt ein und entging nach seiner Verhaftung knapp der Hinrichtung. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wanderte er in die Vereinigten Staaten aus und änderte seinen Namen. Hillaire spielte Gastrollen in über hundert Episoden. Dabei spielte er häufig Franzosen wie im Film Sabrina mit Audrey Hepburn. (de)

  • Marcel Hillaire (born Erwin Ottmar Hiller; April 23, 1908 – January 1, 1988) was a German-born character actor who had a lengthy career, appearing on stage, in films and on television. Hillaire was recognizable by his gaunt appearance and his accent, which seemed to be a combination of French and German. Of Jewish descent, Hillaire first evaded the Holocaust in Nazi Germany by adopting a stage name and moving around constantly in traveling theater troupes; later he brazenly entered the bureaucracy of the Todt under his birth name, narrowly avoiding execution after capture. After World War II, Hillaire emigrated to America, again changed his name, and adopted a French persona, even touring the United States in a one-man stage show dedicated to celebrating French culture. In the early days of American television Hillaire guest starred in over a hundred episodes of various series, usually playing a Frenchman. In American films, Hillaire played the French chef training Audrey Hepburn's eponymous Sabrina and was featured as Fritz the director in Woody Allen's mockumentary Take the Money and Run. (en)
