Biography
Extrait de Wikipedia, l'Encyclopedie libre. Madeleine Ozeray, de son vrai nom Magdeleine Marie Catherine Elisabeth Ozeray, est née à Bouillon (Belgique) le 13 septembre 1908, de Camille Ozeray (1855-1938), avocat et député libéral de la province de Luxembourg, et Marie Deymann. Elle fait ses études au Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles où elle obtint un premier prix de comédie. Elle entre dans la compagnie Louis Jouvet. À vingt-sept ans, elle joue sous sa direction le rôle d'Hélène dans le début de La guerre de Troie n'aura pas lieu de Jean Giraudoux au Théâtre de l'Athénée. Quelques années plus tard, elle donnera la réplique à Jouvet dans l'émouvant film de Julien Duvivier sorti en 1939, La Fin du jour, où elle joue le rôle de la jeune Jeannette, totalement subjuguée par un vieux comédien donjuanesque et à moitié fou (Jouvet). Elle y joue avec cette grâce délicate caractéristique, à la fois fragile et ardente, dont elle avait déjà rempli le rôle de Rosalie dans le film de Victor Trivas de 1933, Dans les rues. Elle est la marraine de théâtre du comédien, danseur et chanteur Frédéric Norbert. Madeleine Ozeray meurt à Paris le 28 mars 1989 à l'âge de 81 ans des suites d'un cancer. Elle est enterrée au cimetière de sa ville natale. En 2008, à l'occasion de la célébration du centième anniversaire de sa naissance, le journaliste belge Dominique Zachary lui a consacré tout un ouvrage, intitulé : Madeleine Ozeray, Ondine de la Semois, auquel notamment Christophe Malavoy et Frédéric Norbert ont collaboré, et qui est publié aux Éditions Racine. Œuvre de référence sur le parcours de l'artiste et de la femme, l'ouvrage est en outre le seul paru depuis la disparition de l'actrice.
