- Born in France during a World War I air raid in which his mother was killed, Philippe was adopted by Mrs. Edith DeLacy, who was associated with the Women's Overseas Hospital. After the war ended, Mrs. Lacy brought Philippe to America where his stunning looks soon made him a sought after model for advertisements and eventually brought him to the screen.- IMDb Mini Biography By: R.E.

- Was a producer-director with Cinerama Corporation for many years.
- Was with the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency for over twenty-five years as a broadcast supervisor after leaving Cinerama corporation.

- I enjoyed making films. I liked acting with other actors. The painful part came at the end when I was entering what casting directors called "the gawky period" for juveniles, which was early teens in my case. All at once it seemed that no one wanted me. It was some years before I really understood what had happened. I was devastated by what I took as rejection. I'm extremely grateful I had the opportunities I had as a child, and they led to a very satisfying second career. I also appreciate that some of the work I did in pictures still entertains people.
