Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Pascal was born on 12 July 1943 in Valparaíso, to Gastón Pascal Lyon and Laura Allende.[1] Pascal has 3 older siblings, Pedro Gastón, Marianne and Denise Pascal, a politician for the Socialist Party of Chile.[2][3][4][5] He is of Basque[6] and Belgian descent.

In 1966, Allende married Carmen Castillo, a French-Chilean filmmaker and member of the Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR).[9][10][11] The couple had one daughter, Camila Pascal Castillo, before later divorcing.[9]
