Timeline
Long retired from show business, he lives in San Quentin, France, where he manages the family estate. [2006]
In the cult film Camille 2000, he played the darkly handsome and dangerous Count De Varville.
He played against Rod Steiger in the Russian co-production, Waterloo (1970) as the Duc De La Bedoyere, the Generals aide de camp.
He did return to Hollywood in 1970 to star in the ABC TV Series, The Young Rebels (1970) produced by Aaron Spelling. As yet another French nobleman, he played the American Revolutionary War hero, General Marquis De Lafayette. He received thousands of fan letters and was featured in many fan magazines as the new French heartthrob again. Girls found his dimples and French accent "devastating. " They sent for posters of him and entered contests to win a date. The series, which was running against Lassie and Disney, rated third in the 7:00 time slot on network TV. It was canceled after one season. He and Linda Morand took time off and got married. They traveled throughout Europe. Forquet paid less attention to his acting career and became involved with his family businesses. By the mid-Seventies he was retired from acting.
His first role was as a French artist and love interest in Take Her, She's Mine (1963), also starring James Stewart and Sandra Dee, a very popular teen star at the time who was married to Bobby Darin. Rather shy and introspective, intelligent and well read, the young Philippe began life as a rising movie star. His dark good looks, sharp wit and Gallic charm caused quite a flurry among the ladies. He received thousands of fan letters a week and was featured in fan magazines. He was being hailed as a new Montgomery Clift. While working on the film, he fell in love with a young starlet, Sharon Tate, who was also under contract to a studio and they became formally engaged. They eventually broke the engagement as the pressures of her rising career began to interfere with their personal lives. As a result, he broke his contract and decided to go back to Europe. He was type cast several times as a French aristocrat.
In 1962, as a member of the celebrated Theatre Moufftard in Paris, young Phillipe Forquet was discovered by American director, Robert Parrish, who gave him an important role in a movie based on Irwin Shaw's novel, In the French Style (1963).
In 1962 he was flown to Hollywood to be groomed into the new French Heartthrob.
Learning English as he went along, he played the handsome and somewhat naive younger boyfriend of Jean Seberg, who had won popular acclaim in France when she starred in the Otto Preminger film Saint Joan (1957). She was very popular in France. Attractive French movie stars were very prevalent in Hollywood throughout the 50s and 60s. Maurice Chevalier, Yves Montand and Brigitte Bardot were household names and a new generation of new European 'hotties' were coming up such as 'Jean Paul Belmondo', Alain Delon, Catherine Deneuve and Louis Jourdan. Highly regarded for his extraordinary good looks, Forquet was spotted by producers at Twentieth Century Fox, and was offered a contract.
