Martine’s holiday with windows. (Mr Hulot’s Holiday, Tati, 1953)
Portrayed by Nathalie Pascaud.
Pascaud’s real name was/is Jacqueline Schillio and besides being a friend of a friend of Tati, she was a so called neophyte - a beginner. I doubt she took acting lessons of some kind, never read info on that one. Pascaud did act in one or two others movies afterwards, so it seems.
Her husband received a role -as Monsieur Schmutz- because Pascaud did not want to part from her husband during the filming of Les Vacances, and Tati did want her for the role.
