  Is Michèle Mercier secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Michèle Mercier is celebrating her 87th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation.

Popular actress-dancer Michèle Mercier (Angélique, the Marquise of the Angels, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 87th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Mercier, a cultural icon

Born Jocelyne Yvonne Renée Mercier in Nice on January 1, 1939, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Mercier's not just a great actress, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Michèle hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michèle Mercier as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 87.

Happy Birthday, Michèle, you're the best!
