Biography

Installée aux États-Unis, Marcelle Corday contribue ainsi à plus de soixante-dix films américains (comme second rôle de caractère ou dans des petits rôles non-crédités, souvent de servante), les trois premiers sortis en 1925. Suit une dizaine d'autres films muets, dont La Lettre écarlate de Victor Sjöström (1926, avec Lillian Gish et Lars Hanson), La Chair et le Diable de Clarence Brown (1926, avec John Gilbert et Greta Garbo) et La Galante Méprise de Sidney Lanfield (1927, avec Marion Davies et Conrad Nagel).

Un de ses derniers films muets est L'Intruse d'Edmund Goulding (1929, avec Gloria Swanson et Henry B. Walthall), ayant également fait l'objet d'une version parlante. Ultérieurement, mentionnons Le Monde en marche de John Ford (1934, avec Madeleine Carroll et Franchot Tone), Le Grand Ziegfeld de Robert Z. Leonard (1936, avec William Powell, Myrna Loy et Luise Rainer), Ombres sur Paris de Delmer Daves (1948, avec Dennis Morgan et Viveca Lindfors) et Chanson païenne de Robert Alton (son avant-dernier film, 1950, avec Esther Williams et Howard Keel). Son ultime film sort en 1952, après quoi elle se retire.

Pour son unique prestation à la télévision, Marcelle Corday tourne un épisode (diffusé en 1952) de la série américaine Dangerous Assignment, avec Brian Donlevy dans le rôle principal.
