Life

The son of a painter from the south of France was originally supposed to take up his father's profession, but was more interested in the theater and appeared as an amateur on the operetta in his hometown of Marseille. Arrived in Paris, Crémieux attended the Conservatory as a listener and began his professional career in 1916 at the Théâtre National de l'Odéon . Further capital city commitments followed. B. to the Théâtre de la Ville - Sarah-Bernhardt, the Théâtre Michel, the Théâtre Antoine, the Théâtre des Ambassadeurs, the Théâtre de l'Atelier, the Théâtre du Gymnase, the Théâtre des Célestins and finally the Théâtre du Palais Royal. Crémieux was still on stage when he was over 80. Initially only considering small tasks, Crémieux was later able to play leading roles such as Uncle Vanya in the Chekhov play of the same name .

In 1929, the southern French man with the elegant, narrow mustache made his first contact with film: In Augusto Genina's “ Miss Europe ”, which was made during the period of upheaval from silent to talkies, he lent his voice to one of the leading actors. But it wasn't until three years later that Henri Crémieux stood in front of the camera for the first time. In the next four decades he played a number of supporting roles in some very well-known films, in which he had partners such as Fernandel , Jean Marais , Louis de Funès , Michel Simon , Charles Vanel , Catherine Deneuve and, again and again, Jean Gabin . His role included a wide variety of types: gentlemen of the world (“ The gorilla sends his regards”, “The President ”) as well as simple people (counter clerk in “ If Marie weren't so moody ”). In addition, since 1956, the artist found plenty of employment in television (series "Un mystère par jour" ).
