Vice president of the jury at the Cannes Film Festival in 1964.

He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6300 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California on February 8, 1960.

Boyer was the first choice of director Claude Chabrol in 1959 for "A Double Tour", but the role was ultimately played by Jacques Dacqmine.

Won a special Tony Award in 1952 "for distinguished performance in 'Don Juan in Hell', thereby assisting in a new theatre trend". He was also nominated for Broadway's 1963 Tony Award as Best Actor (Dramatic) for "Lord Pengo".

He has appeared in one film that has been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: Gaslight (1944).

Had one son: Michael Charles Boyer (born December 9, 1943); committed suicide September 21, 1965. He apparently played Russian roulette with a .38-caliber revolver after quarreling with a girlfriend.

Became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1942.

Charles Boyer founded the French Research Foundation in 1941 as a French research library used in motion picture pre-production work. He moved his library to West Hollywood during WWII and used it for his film 'Arch of Triumph' (1946) for research on costumes, buildings and furnishings of French history.

His favorite film was the romantic drama Love Affair (1939).

Boyer reportedly turned down offers to star in If I Were King (1938), The Great Waltz (1938), Wuthering Heights (1939).

Lost the Best Actor Oscar to Spencer Tracy twice consecutively for films released in 1937 and 1938.

In 1934 he married Pat Paterson, his first and (unusual for a star) only wife.

Signed with Ufa in 1928 to make French versions of German films in Berlin.

Charles Boyer studied philosophy before he went to the theater where he gave his debut in 1920.

Although he had at first no intentions to pursue a career at the movies (his first movie was L'homme du large (1920) by Marcel L'Herbier) he used his chance in Hollywood after several filming stations all over Europe. In the beginning of his career his beautiful voice was hidden by the silent movies but in Hollywood he became famous for his whispered declarations of love (like in movies with Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich or Ingrid Bergman).
