Paulette Goddard (June 3, 1910 – April 23, 1990) was a vivacious and spirited American actress who rose from a child model and performer in Broadway productions as a Ziegfeld Girl to become a major star of Hollywood’s Golden Age. She became internationally famous through her personal and professional relationship with Charlie Chaplin, starring as his charismatic leading lady in the classic films Modern Times (1936) and The Great Dictator (1940). As one of Paramount Pictures’ top stars in the 1940s, her feisty persona shone in comedies and adventures, and she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her dramatic role as a WWII nurse in So Proudly We Hail! (1943). Known for her intelligence and independence, her fascinating life also included later marriages to actor Burgess Meredith and author Erich Maria Remarque.
