She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1952 for her performance as Marie Charlet in Moulin Rouge, directed by John Huston.

Marchand traveled around the world as a dancer and danced with many of the greatest ballet dancers of the 1940s and 1950s. Marchand was born in Paris, France, the daughter of Alice (née Lioret) and Roger Marchand. She began her career at the Paris Opera Ballet. She married Jacques Bazire, the musical director for the Roland Petit Ballet. She died on 5 June 2015, aged 90, and was survived by her sister, Yvonne (Marchand) Le Bras. She performed as a première ballerina on Broadway in Roland Petit's Les Ballets de Paris (1949 & 1950). In the 1950 show, Marchand performed a ballet piece titled The Boiled Egg, for which she received rave reviews. In 1951 she had a featured role in the Broadway musical Two on the Aisle which ran for 276 performances. In the early 1950s while performing on Broadway, Marchand was featured in several magazines, including Life, and would make appearances on New York City television shows, including the Ford Star Revue, the Colgate Comedy Hour, and the Ed Sullivan Show. In 1951 she lent her voice to Isidore Isou's Venom and Eternity. In 1952, she received a Golden Globe Award as Most Promising Newcomer - Female for her performance in Moulin Rouge, as well as a nomination for the BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer.
