Born Gérard Philip[1] in Cannes, France, he was of one quarter Czech ancestry from his maternal grandmother and three quarters French ancestry.[2] As a teenager Philipe took acting lessons before going to Paris to study at the Conservatoire of Dramatic Art. When he was 19 years old, he made his stage debut at a theater in Nice; and the following year his strong performance in the Albert Camus play, Caligula, brought an invitation to work with the Théâtre national populaire (T.N.P.) in Paris and Avignon, whose festival, founded in 1947 by Jean Vilar, is France's oldest and most famous.

Philipe made his film debut in Les Petites du quai aux fleurs (1943) and after a few more minor film roles, he rocketed to fame as a result of his performance in Claude Autant-Lara's Devil in the Flesh (1947). Adored by women for his good looks, Gérard Philipe was also a very talented actor and highly regarded by his peers. He played roles as diverse as Faust and Modigliani and he was sought out by France's preeminent directors for his versatility and professionalism.

In 1951, Philipe married Nicole Fourcade (1917–1990), an actress/writer, with whom he had two children. She adopted the pseudonym, Anne Philipe, and wrote about her husband in two books, the first called Souvenirs (1960) and a second biography titled Le Temps d'un soupir (No Longer Than a Sigh, 1963).

Recognized worldwide for his talent, he was at the pinnacle of his career when he died from liver cancer while working on a film project in Paris, a few days short of his 37th birthday. (His doctors concealed from him the nature of his disease.) He is buried in the village cemetery in Ramatuelle, Var near the Mediterranean Sea coast.[3]

To commemorate the centenary of the cinema in 1995, the French government issued a series of limited edition coins that included a 100 franc coin bearing the image of Philipe. Among the most popular French actors of modern times, he has been elevated to mythic status in his homeland, not least because of his early death at the peak of his popularity. In 1986, his portrait appeared on a French commemorative postage stamp. There is a film festival named in his honour as well as a number of theatres and schools (such as the College Gérard Philipe - Cogolin) in various parts of France.

I'd like suggestions for her ASC - her TOB unknown. You can google her (Anne Philipe or Nicole Fourcade) for more pictures. I'm feeling Scorpio, what do you think?

An older look. She has a high bolted forehead with a very intelligent look and bright eyes.

From the first few glances, i can see the following:
She probably has a wide stellium involving her venus, sun, pluto and probably her moon as well. That stellium makes a trine to his desc/jupiter/Pof and conjuncts his pluto, and Pluto happens to rule his desc. That provides feelings of well-being & tension. Mars opp venus and mars conj uranus add to sexual tension and vertex opp chiron and node opp lilith are also responsible for the probably irresistible attraction they felt for each other.

Great mini/interpretation, Enneline

Kaianna, I thought about Aries too.

And there is something electrifying and intellectual about their synastry.

Because of the lack of fixity by planets-in-signs in this chart you show for her, a strong affiliation of a planet of fixity (Pluto, Uranus, Sun/not likely) OR a Fixed Sign on the Asc.

Most likely it is a Fixed Sign. That's generally what it takes for such a face that is wide/squarish. However, I would not rule out Cancer

The high forehead comes from the Virgo & Gemini factors.

Look for Asc in Taurus/Scorpio that could be square/parallel Leo planets Neptune/Jupiter. Maybe Aquarius. I'm less inclined to say Leo, because she doesn't have a Leo fire in her eyes. Looks more like Taurus or Aqua.
