Michel Galabru

biography:
Michel Galabru, né le 27 octobre 1922 à Safi (protectorat français au Maroc) et mort le 4 janvier 2016 à Paris 18e, est un acteur français.

Il a également été metteur en scène et directeur du théâtre Montmartre-Galabru ainsi que du théâtre de Dix Heures.

Premier prix du Conservatoire national d'art dramatique, Michel Galabru est pensionnaire de la Comédie-Française durant sept ans, de 1950 à 1957. Il acquiert un début de notoriété au cinéma avec le film La Guerre des boutons d'Yves Robert, succès de l'année 1962. Le Gendarme de Saint-Tropez, en 1964, le révèle auprès du grand public. Auprès de Louis de Funès, il interprète l'adjudant Gerber de la gendarmerie de Saint-Tropez.

Dès lors, il devient un acteur omniprésent dans le cinéma comique français, tournant régulièrement sous la direction de Jean Girault, Jean-Pierre Mocky, Georges Lautner, Bertrand Blier et Claude Zidi. Très populaire, il joue dans de nombreuses comédies à succès telles que Le Viager, Le Grand Bazar, Flic ou Voyou, Papy fait de la résistance, La Cage aux folles ou Les Sous-doués, tout en retrouvant Louis de Funès dans les cinq suites du Gendarme ou encore dans L'Avare. En parallèle, pour des raisons alimentaires, il participe à d'innombrables films comiques qualifiés de «nanars».

Il livre aussi des prestations dramatiques remarquées dans L'Ibis rouge, Monsieur Balboss, Le Juge et l'Assassin, Le Choix des armes, Subway, Kamikaze ou encore Uranus. En 1977, son interprétation d'un tueur en série du XIXe siècle dans Le Juge et l'Assassin lui vaut le César du meilleur acteur. Il est nommé au César du meilleur acteur dans un second rôle, en 1986 pour Subway et en 1991 pour Uranus.

Figure du cinéma français avec près de soixante-dix ans de carrière et son nom aux génériques de plus de deux cent cinquante films, Michel Galabru reste également fidèle à la scène, étant souvent à l'affiche des théâtres de boulevard mais aussi de pièces d'auteurs comme Molière, Jean Anouilh et surtout Marcel Pagnol, qu'il affectionne particulièrement. En 2008, le Molière du comédien lui est décerné pour son rôle dans Les Chaussettes-Opus 124. Il poursuit sa carrière quasiment jusqu'à sa mort, notamment avec Le Cancre, spectacle seul en scène qui revient avec humour sur sa carrière.

Né le 27 octobre 1922 à Safi au Maroc, Michel Galabru est le fils de Paul Galabru (1892-1988), ingénieur et professeur à l'École nationale des ponts et chaussées, et d'Yvonne Payré (1895-1979). Il passe les sept premières années de sa vie à Safi, où son père participe à la construction du port de la ville, puis une grande partie de son enfance dans la maison familiale au Bousquet-d'Orb, dans l'Hérault. Il passe quelques années au Havre.

Il a deux frères, Marc Galabru (1929-2014), médecin, et un autre Jean, l'aîné, jeune homme lettré qui écrivait des poèmes, mort à l'âge de 18 ans de la tuberculose. ...

Мишель Галабрю

biography:
Родился 27 октября 1922 года в Сафи, Марокко.

Отец Мишеля преподавал в Национальном институте мостов и дорог, а сам Мишель хотел только одного: стать профессиональным футболистом. Но он нашел свое призвание в театре.

Он уехал в Париж, где после двух лет подготовки успешно сдал экзамены в Национальную академию драматического искусства. Закончив ее, молодой актер в 1950 г. был принят в труппу "Комеди Франсез", где играл в пьесах классического репертуара.

В 1951 г. Жан Девевр предложил ему впервые сняться в кино - в фильме "Моя жена, моя корова и я". В 1957 Галабрю покинул "Комеди Франсез" и начал работать в небольших театрах, одновременно исполня много маленьких ролей в кино.

С 1960-х годов его роли стали более значительными. Начало этому положили популярный фильм Ива Робера "Война пуговиц" и особенно картина "Жандарм из Сен-Тропе" Жана Жиро. Его типаж стопроцентного француза и ворчуна, часто не справляющегося с положением, как нельзя лучше подошел к роли старшего унтер-офицера Жербе, выполняющего приказы сержанта Крюшо (Луи де Фюнес). Несмотря на то, что все пять серий "Жандарма" нельзя назвать равноценными, они имели огромный успех.

В 1971 г. фильм "Пожизненная рента" открыл перед ним, наконец, путь к настоящей карьере: ему пришлось ждать 20 лет, чтобы его талант был признан. Актеру начали предлагать драматические роли.

В 1977 году он был удостоен высшей французской кинематографической награды - премии "Сезар" - за главную роль в криминальной драме Бернара Таварнье "Судья и убийца" (Le Juge et l'Assassin, 1976).

В 1990-х Мишель Галабрю стал реже появляться на экранах, он снялся едва ли в десятке фильмов в эти годы. В 1998 г. он исполнил роль свирепого старосты деревни неустрашимых галлов в "Астериксе и Обеликсе против Цезаря" Клода Зиди, а в 2000 г. вместе с Жан-Полем Бельмондо, Андре Дюссолье и Мишелем Серро снялся в фильме Бертрана Блие "Актеры".

В 2008 году в 85-летнем возрасте любимый несколькими поколениями французских зрителей Галабрю получил свою первую премию "Мольер", которая вручается во Франции за сценическое мастерство. Награды он удостоился за роль в спектакле Даниэля Кола "Носки-опус 124" (Les Chaussettes-opus 124).

В 2013 году Мишель Галабрю был возведен в степень Великого офицера французского национального ордена "За заслуги".

Всего за свою карьеру Мишель Галабрю сыграл несколько десятков ролей в театре и кино, снялся более чем в 250 фильмах.

В последнее время актер испытывал большие проблемы со здоровьем, тяжело переживая недавнюю смерть супруги и брата. Из-за этого был вынужден полностью отказаться от театральных выступлений, которые продолжал несмотря на преклонный возраст.

Известный французский киноактер Мишель Галабрю скончался в возрасте 93 лет, сообщила семья артиста.

По данным портала 20minutes, смерть актера наступила во сне.
