"It is in the tenderness and affection of her loved ones that my mother left to join the stars," announced Virginie Ledieu, Marion Game’s daughter. The actress died on Thursday late afternoon at her home in the Paris region. Her loved ones had announced for a few months that she was tired.

Born on July 31, 1938 in Casablanca, Marion Game was the French voice of many renowned actors. This is the case of Jane Kaczmarek, who plays the role of Loïs in the TV series "Malcolm", of Phyllis Van De Kamp in "Desperate Housewives" or of Cindy Walsh, the mother of Brandon and Brenda, in the cult series of the 90s, "Beverly Hills". She is also the voice of Sally Field (Mrs. Gump) in the six-Oscar-winning film "Forrest Gump".

Her career started with supporting roles in the cinema in the 1970s-1980s. She also participated in two iconic TV game shows, "Les Jeux de 20 heures" on FR3 and "L’Académie des neuf" on Antenne 2.
