Before finding a celebrity late thanks to the humorous soap opera, in which she and Gérard Hernandez played an elderly couple, Marion Game was a familiar figure of the 70s and 80s. This actress with red hair and a bubbly personality had played many supporting roles in theater, television and film.
A career in film and television
In the cinema, we saw her in particular in “Le Cri du cormoran le soir sur les jonques” by Michel Audiard (1971) or “Parking” by Jacques Demy (1985). On TV, she played among others in “Les Brigades du Tigre” (1975), “Nana” (1981) or, more recently, “Plus belle la vie” (2010-2012).
She was also active in dubbing, and had among other things been the French voice of the character of Phyllis Van de Kamp, Bree’s stepmother, in the American series “Desperate Housewives”.
Marion Game regularly appeared in ultra-popular TV games of the 70s and 80s, “Les Jeux de 20 heures” on FR3 and “L’académie des neuf” on Antenne 2.

Launched in 2009, “Household scenes” tells the daily life of couples of different generations through short sketches. It gathered some evenings up to 5 million viewers. Marion Game played the role of Huguette, who bickered constantly with her husband Raymond, the mustachioed Gérard Hernandez.
