Jehn Pierre Aumont
Jean-Pierre Aumont (5 January 1911 – 30 January 2001) was a French actor.
However, his most important, career-defining role came in 1934, when Jean Cocteau’s play La Machine Infernale (The Infernal Machine) was released. When his film and stage career began rising quickly, World War II broke out. Aumont stayed in France until 1942, when he realized that because of his Jewish ancestry, he would be forced to flee from the Nazi forces. He first fled to an unoccupied 
portion of Vichy territory, before moving, first to New York City, then to Hollywood to further his film career.
He began working with MGM, however, he was not content while his fellow countrymen were fighting for their lives in Europe. After finishing the film, The Cross of Lorraine, he 
joined the Free French Forces.
Aumont was sent to North Africa, where he participated in Operation Torch in Tunisia. Then, he moved with the Allied armies through Italy and France. Through the war, he was wounded twice. The first was on a mission with his brother. However, the second was more serious. Aumont’s Jeep was blown up near a landmined bridge, and French General Diégo Brosset, commander of the 1st Free French Division, was killed.
