Actress Claudette Colbert, née Lily Claudette Chauchoin, was born in Paris, directly under the rising line of her Primary Mercury: a symbol that describes the “skillful use of the spoken word” (a useful talent, indeed, for actors and actresses). Relocating with her family to the United States when she was only five years old, Colbert pursued a career in design, but, once she was offered minor parts in the theater and in films, she then developed a serious interest in acting.

TV took up much of the slack in the mid-50s; Colbert ... returned to the stage opposite fellow sophisticates Noel Coward (in "Island Fling") and Charles Boyer (in "The Marriage Go-Round"). Apart from a notable period of inactivity in the late 60s after the death of her second husband, Colbert's later career was marked by several very successful comebacks on both stage ("The Kingfisher" 1978) and TV ("The Two Mrs. Grenvilles" 1987) where she displayed the same stylishness and intelligence which made her such a wonderful archetype of the modern working woman.

During her career, Colbert appeared in more than sixty films. For her contribution to the motion picture industry, she was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6812 Hollywood Blvd.
