Marcelle

Marcelle Toing is the protagonist of Ratatoing, the animated ripoff of Ratatouille. Marcelle is a rat who owns a restaurant called Ratatoing, and he named it after himself, because he is a rat and his last name is Toing. His first name being French in origin makes no sense since he is from, presumably, Brazil.

Marcelle Maurette (1903 – 1972) was a French playwright and screenwriter who is particularly well known for her play Anastasia (1952) which brought her international recognition, and inspired a film of the same name. It is not her only play centred on a woman with a tragic story. Many other works of hers feature historical or fictional heroines with dramatic lives. She was honoured with various awards and was a prominent French literary figure.

Marcelle Lafont (1905 - 1982) was a chemist, chemical engineer, member of the French Resistance and later a politician. Born into the successful bourgeois Lafont family (owners of the Adolphe Lafont company) she broke with tradition and earned a degree in chemical engineering, became a truck driver, an aviator and spoke several languages. In 1935 she ran for election in Villeurbanne when women still did not have the right to vote in France. During the Second World War, her work in the French Resistance earned her the Resistance Medal. She later took up politics in Songieu.

Edith Piaf named her child (who died at the age of two) this.
