Yves Robert

biography:
Yves Robert (19 June 1920 – 10 May 2002) was a French actor, screenwriter, director, and producer.

Robert was born in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France. In his teens, he went to Paris to pursue a career in acting, starting with unpaid parts on stage in the city's various theatre workshops. From ages 12–20 he set type as a typographer, then studied mime in his early 20s. In 1948 he made his motion picture debut with one of the secondary roles in the film, Les Dieux du dimanche. Within a few years, Robert was writing scripts, directing, and producing.

Yves Robert's directorial efforts included several successful comedies for which he had written the screenplay. His 1962 film, La Guerre des boutons won France's Prix Jean Vigo. His 1972 film Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire won the Silver Bear at the 23rd Berlin International Film Festival in 1973. In 1976, Un éléphant ça trompe énormément, starring his wife, earned him international acclaim. Robert's 1973 devastating comedy Salut l'artiste is considered by many performers to be the ultimate film about the humiliations of the actor's life. In 1977, he directed another comedy, Nous irons tous au paradis, which was nominated for a César Award for Best Film.

In 1990, Robert directed two dramatic films, My Mother's Castle (Le château de ma mère) and My Father's Glory (La Gloire de mon Père). Based on autobiographical novels by Marcel Pagnol, they were jointly voted "Best Film" at the 1991 Seattle International Film Festival, and received rave reviews. Over his career, he directed more than twenty feature-length motion pictures, wrote an equal number of scripts, and acted in more than seventy-five films. Although his last major role was perhaps in 1980, A Bad Son by Claude Sautet, as the working-class father of a drug-dealer, he continued acting past 1997.

Robert played opposite Danièle Delorme in the 1951 play Colombe (Dove) by Jean Anouilh. They married in 1956, and jointly formed the film production company La Guéville in 1961. La Guéville also released several films by Monty Python and Terry Gilliam, which was very influential into establishing the comedy troupe to French audiences. He died in Paris on 10 May 2002 from a cerebral hemorrhage. He was buried in Montparnasse Cemetery with the epitaph "A man of joy ...", where visitors leave buttons of many colors.[citation needed]He was survived by Danièle and two children, Anne and Jean-Denis Robert, by first wife, actress Rosy Varte. That month's Cannes Film Festival paid homage to his contribution to French film.

biography:
Yves Robert, né le 19 juin 1920 à Saumur (Maine-et-Loire), et mort le 10 mai 2002 à Paris dans le 6e arrondissement, est un réalisateur, scénariste, acteur et producteur français.

Yves Robert naît à Saumur, mais passe une partie de son enfance à Pouancé, dans le nord du Maine-et-Loire. Il garde de ses premières années passées au contact de la nature un amour de la campagne que l'on retrouve dans plusieurs de ses films, notamment dans Ni vu... Ni connu... et Alexandre le bienheureux, ainsi qu'une passion pour le jardinage.

Il débute dans la vie professionnelle comme typographe, à l'âge de 13 ans, et multiplie les petits métiers: pâtissier, livreur, modèle au Musée Grévin. Il se rend à Paris en 1939, puis rejoint à Lyon en 1943 la troupe de théâtre Grenier-Hussenot. Il fait sur les planches un début de carrière brillant en participant à la création de plusieurs pièces telles que La Tête des autres de Marcel Aymé et Colombe de Jean Anouilh, sous la direction d'André Barsacq au Théâtre de l'Atelier, et joue au cabaret, entre autres à la Rose Rouge. Ses débuts sont unanimement salués et il remporte le prix du meilleur comédien en 1949.

Appelé par le cinéma, il est engagé par Marcel Carné pour son premier grand rôle. Il participe au total en tant qu'acteur à une cinquantaine de films, au cours desquels il fait preuve de son talent et de son éclectisme, interprétant souvent des personnages hauts en couleur. Il crée ainsi de remarquables compositions lors de brèves apparitions (Le Viager) ou dans des premiers rôles (Le Cinéma de papa). Il tourne aussi bien dans des films comiques comme L'Aventure c'est l'aventure que dramatiques comme Un mauvais fils.

Attiré par la mise en scène, il tourne son premier court-métrage en 1951 avec Claude Sautet comme assistant, puis dirige en 1958 son premier film, Ni vu... Ni connu..., qui marque l'une des premières apparitions de Louis de Funès dans un premier rôle. Il devient rapidement l'un des spécialistes, au talent reconnu et au succès public, de la comédie française.

Sur un plan personnel, après un premier mariage et la naissance de deux enfants, Anne et Jean-Denis Robert, il vit, à partir de 1948, avec l'actrice Rosy Varte, rencontrée dans la troupe Grenier-Hussenot, puis, à partir de 1956, avec l'actrice Danièle Delorme, dont il a fait connaissance en jouant Colombe. Après leur mariage, il fonde avec elle une maison de production: La Guéville.

En 1961, La Guerre des boutons remporte le Prix Jean-Vigo. Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire et Un éléphant ça trompe énormément lui apportent la reconnaissance internationale. La Gloire de mon père et Le Château de ma mère, issus des romans homonymes de Marcel Pagnol, sont un énorme succès en France et dans une moindre mesure à l'international. Sa comédie Salut l'artiste (1973) est considérée par un grand nombre d'artistes comme le summum dans la description des humiliations infligées à un artiste par le milieu du spectacle. En 1977, Nous irons tous au paradis est nommé pour le César du meilleur film. Jardinier émérite, il a pour seule médaille celle de chevalier du mérite agricole. ...
