Marie Vergracht, known in France as Marie-Martine (b. 1946 or 1947) is a French actress specializing in dubbing. She started her career in 1952, aged 5, in a film with Fernandel. She had to dub her own lines because the sound was unusable.

She is the regular voice of actresses including Christine Estabrook, Meagen Fay, Fionnula Flanagan, Lee Garlington, Jenny O'Hara and Rhea Perlman.

She often voices secondary characters in TV series such as Dallas, Desperate Housewives or NCIS: Los Angeles.

She is also the voice of Seita and Setsuko's aunt in the French dub of Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓, Hotaru no haka), Cid in Star Wars: The Bad Batch and the narrator in the God of War games.

Transformers: The Movie

Notes

  • The fact that they cast a woman to voice Starscream and Shrapnel in The Movie remains one of the biggest mysteries for French fans.
  • Maybe because of the rather high-pitched voice of Starscream in English?
  • No, seriously, why?
