Jacques Bergerac (born May 26, 1927 in Biarritz, France) was a French actor with a brief Hollywood film career.
Originally a lawyer, Bergerac met and married Ginger Rogers with whom he appeared in Twist of Fate (1954). He then went on to appear as Armand Duval in a television production of Camille for Kraft Television Theatre, opposite Signe Hasso. He played the Comte de Provence in Jean Delannoy's film Marie-Antoinette reine de France (Marie Antoinette Queen of France) (1956) with Michèle Morgan. In Strange Intruder (1956), he shared the screen with Edmund Purdom and Ida Lupino, and in Les Girls (1957), he played the second male lead. He also appeared in Gigi (1958), Thunder in the Sun (1959) and the cult horror film The Hypnotic Eye (1960).
In 1957, he received the Golden Globe Award for Foreign Newcomer.
He divorced Rogers in 1957 and, in 1959, married Dorothy Malone, with whom he had two children. The marriage ended in divorce in 1964. He appeared in a few more films and on television, including 77 Sunset Strip, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, and The Lucy Show and also "The Dick Van Dyke Show" in the episode "The Square Triangle". His last appearance was on The Doris Day Show in 1969, after which he left show-business and became the head of Revlon's Paris office.
