Biography
Philippe LĂ©otard (his full name was Ange Philippe Paul AndrĂ© LĂ©otard-Tomasi; 28 August 1940 â 25 August 2001) was a French actor, poet and singer.
He was born in Nice, one of seven children - four girls, then three boys, of which he was the oldest - and was the brother of politician François LĂ©otard. His childhood was normal except for an illness (rheumatic fever) which struck him and forced him to spend days in bed during which time he read a great many books. He was particularly fond of the poets - Baudelaire, Rimbaud, LautrĂ©amont, Blaise Cendrars. He met Ariane Mnouchkine at the Sorbonne and in 1964. Together with students of the L'Ăcole Internationale de ThĂ©Ăątre Jacques Lecoq, they formed the Parisian avant-garde stage ensemble, ThĂ©Ăątre du Soleil.
He played Philippe, the tormented son of a woman with terminal illness in the 1974 drama film La Gueule ouverte by the controversial director Maurice Pialat. He won a CĂ©sar Award for Best Actor for his role in the 1982 movie La Balance.
One of his few English-language roles was a cameo in the 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal and he co-starred as "Jacques" in the 1975 John Frankenheimer movie French Connection II which starred Gene Hackman and Fernando Rey, (sequel to The French Connection).
LĂ©otard died of respiratory failure in Paris on 25 August 2001, three days before his 61st birthday. He was buried at the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.
