Michel Bouquet

biography:
Michel Bouquet (6 November 1925 – 13 April 2022) was a French stage and film actor. He appeared in more than 100 films from 1947 to 2020. He won the Best Actor European Film Award for Toto the Hero in 1991 and two Best Actor Césars for How I Killed My Father (2001) and The Last Mitterrand (2005).

He received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor in 2018.

Michel François Pierre Bouquet was born on 6 November 1925 in Paris. When he was seven years old, he was sent to a boarding school where he stayed until the age of 14. He aspired to become a doctor but had to quit school at the age of 15 after his father had been taken prisoner during World War II. Bouquet worked as a baker's apprentice, then a bank clerk, to provide for the family. After a short stay in Lyon, he returned with his mother to Paris. Marie Bouquet was passionate about theater, and that helped the young Bouquet to find his vocation. He took acting classes under the tutelage of Maurice Escande, a member of the Comédie Française, and made his stage debut in the play La première étape in 1944. Then he studied at the Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Paris where he met Gérard Philippe.

In the mid-1940s Michel Bouquet began working with the playwright Jean Anouilh and director André Barsacq, who staged plays at the Théâtre de l'Atelier in Montmartre. In 1946, Anouilh gave Bouquet a part in Roméo and Jeannette, followed by The Rendez-vous of Senlis and The Invitation to the Castle in 1947. In the 1950s, the actor met another stage director, Jean Vilar, with whom he would frequently collaborate. Bouquet played many roles from the classical repertoire at the Festival d'Avignon, created by Vilar in 1947 (Henry IV in 1950, The Tragedy of King Richard II in 1953, and The Miser in 1962). Bouquet regularly worked with Anouilh until the early 1970s, then helped popularize in France the works of the British author Harold Pinter: The Collection in 1965, The Birthday Party in 1967 and No Man's Land in 1979.

At the same time, at the end of the 1970s, Michel Bouquet was appointed professor at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts and taught there until 1990. In the 1980s-1990s, he returned to the Théâtre de l'Atelier where he once began his career. In 1994, he played in Exit the King by Eugène Ionesco, the role he would perform many times until 2014. In 1998 he received the Molière Award for Best Actor for Bertrand Blier's Les côtelettes, then again for Exit the King in 2005. In 2014, he was awarded the Honorary Molière for the sum of his career. A year later, the actor received accolades for his performance in Taking Sides by the British playwright Ronald Harwood. Bouquet announced his retirement from stage in 2019. ...

Michel Bouquet

biography:
Michel Bouquet (6. November 1925 – 13. April 2022) war ein französischer Bühnen- und Filmschauspieler. Von 1947 bis 2020 wirkte er in über 100 Filmen mit. Für seine Rolle in „Toto der Held“ wurde er 1991 mit dem Europäischen Filmpreis als Bester Hauptdarsteller ausgezeichnet. Für „Wie ich meinen Vater umbrachte“ (2001) und „Der letzte Mitterrand“ (2005) erhielt er jeweils den César als Bester Hauptdarsteller. 1998 wurde er für „Die Côtelettes“ mit dem Molière-Preis als Bester Schauspieler geehrt, 2005 dann erneut für „Der König geht“. 2014 wurde ihm für sein Lebenswerk der Ehren-Molière-Preis verliehen. 2018 erhielt er das Großkreuz der Ehrenlegion.

Michel François Pierre Bouquet wurde am 6. November 1925 in Paris geboren. Mit sieben Jahren wurde er in ein Internat geschickt, wo er bis zu seinem 14. Lebensjahr blieb. Er wollte Arzt werden, musste die Schule aber mit 15 abbrechen, nachdem sein Vater im Zweiten Weltkrieg in Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten war. Bouquet arbeitete zunächst als Bäckerlehrling und später als Bankangestellter, um seine Familie zu ernähren. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt in Lyon kehrte er mit seiner Mutter nach Paris zurück. Marie Bouquet begeisterte sich für das Theater, und dies half dem jungen Bouquet, seine Berufung zu finden. Er nahm Schauspielunterricht bei Maurice Escande, einem Mitglied der Comédie-Française, und gab 1944 sein Bühnendebüt in dem Stück „La première étape“. Anschließend studierte er am Pariser Konservatorium für Schauspielkunst, wo er Gérard Philippe kennenlernte.

Mitte der 1940er-Jahre begann Michel Bouquet mit dem Dramatiker Jean Anouilh und dem Regisseur André Barsacq zusammenzuarbeiten, die Stücke im Théâtre de l'Atelier in Montmartre inszenierten. 1946 gab Anouilh Bouquet eine Rolle in „Roméo und Jeannette“, gefolgt von „Das Rendez-vous von Senlis“ und „Die Einladung ins Schloss“ im Jahr 1947. In den 1950er-Jahren lernte der Schauspieler den Regisseur Jean Vilar kennen, mit dem er häufig zusammenarbeitete. Bouquet spielte zahlreiche Rollen des klassischen Repertoires beim Festival d'Avignon, das Vilar 1947 ins Leben gerufen hatte (Heinrich IV. 1950, „Die Tragödie König Richards II.“ 1953 und „Der Geizige“ 1962). Bouquet arbeitete bis Anfang der 1970er-Jahre regelmäßig mit Anouilh zusammen und trug anschließend maßgeblich zur Popularisierung der Werke des britischen Autors Harold Pinter in Frankreich bei: „Die Sammlung“ (1965), „Die Geburtstagsfeier“ (1967) und „Niemandsland“ (1979).

Gleichzeitig wurde Michel Bouquet Ende der 1970er-Jahre zum Professor am Nationalen Konservatorium für Dramatische Kunst ernannt und lehrte dort bis 1990. In den 1980er- und 1990er-Jahren kehrte er an das Théâtre de l’Atelier zurück, wo er einst seine Karriere begonnen hatte. 1994 spielte er in Eugène Ionescos „Der König geht ab“, eine Rolle, die er bis 2014 immer wieder verkörperte. 1998 erhielt er den Molière-Preis als Bester Schauspieler für Bertrand Bliers „Die Côtelettes“, 2005 erneut für „Der König geht ab“. 2014 wurde ihm der Ehren-Molière für sein Lebenswerk verliehen. Ein Jahr später wurde der Schauspieler für seine Darstellung in Ronald Harwoods Stück „Taking Sides“ gefeiert. Bouquet gab 2019 seinen Bühnenabschied bekannt.

Dalton Trumbo

biography:
James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter who scripted many award-winning films, including Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), Roman Holiday (1953), Spartacus (1960), and Exodus (1960). One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of Communist influences in the motion picture industry.

Trumbo, the other members of the Hollywood Ten, and hundreds of other professionals in the industry were blacklisted by Hollywood. He continued working clandestinely on major films, writing under pseudonyms or other authors' names. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards for Best Story: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was presented to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956), which was awarded to a pseudonym used by Trumbo. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, it marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other affected screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for Roman Holiday in 2011, nearly 60 years after the fact, and 35 years after his death.
