Chevalier it was reported in 1959 owed his life to Dwight D. Eisenhower: upon the liberation of Paris in 1945 Chevalier was threatened with death by firing squad for having entertained in France under the Nazi occupation. Chevalier who had been living with a Jewish woman at the time contended that he had only done so in order to facilitate a prisoner swap. Thanks to a word from General Eisenhower himself Chevalier was kept alive until an investigation could be carried out which proved that Chevalier was telling the truth. TheÂ French actorÂ cabaret singerÂ and entertainerÂ Maurice ChevalierÂ is perhaps best known for his signature songs including "Louise" "Mimi" "Valentine" and "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and for his films includingÂ The Love ParadeÂ andÂ The Big Pond. His trademark attire was aÂ boater hat which he always wore on stage with aÂ tuxedo.Â In 1958 he starred with Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan in Gigi and in the early 1960s he made eight films includingÂ Can-CanÂ in 1960 andÂ FannyÂ the following year. Â The success ofÂ GigiÂ prompted Hollywood to give him anÂ Academy Honorary AwardÂ that year for achievements in entertainment.Â Doubleday & Company, Inc. hardcover books
