Robert Dalban
Son of Louis Auguste Barré syndrome (1873-1951), first clerk of notary and then as a butcher, and Marie-Léontine Moreau (1868-1951), a seamstress. Robert Dalban begins at the age of 16 years at the théâtre Montparnasse in the sides of Harry-Max and Maurice Dorléac. Under the pseudonym of A. Q., he is also a comic trooper at the caf' conc The Three Musketeers. Before departure of a tour in the United States with Sarah Bernhardt in the early 1920s, he played in many local theaters. It is found in operettas and revues during the 1930s. It will play several times avecGaby Morlay, which will lead him to filmmaking, where he began in 1934. In 1940, he married the actress Madeleine Robinson, with whom he had a son, Jean-François, born in 1941. The couple divorced in 1946. In 1950, he was chosen in a casting organized by the M. G. M. for lending his voice to Clark Gable, in the French version of the super-production of David O. Selznick's gone with the wind. In 1955, he met Robert Hossein and turns in The bastards are going to hell. This will be the beginning of a great friendship between the two men. Robert Dalban has performed, among others, a former comrade of the Resistance of Mary-October (interpreted parDanielle Darrieux) in Marie-Octobre (1959) and the father of Manette (Claude Jade) in My uncle Benjamin (1969) by Edouard Molinaro. But it is the thundering "Yes, sir !" from his character in the butler, John Crooks in clover by Georges Lautner which brand of sustainable minds. He will turn in no less than eleven movies with the latter. He plays with equal conviction the roles of mobsters and police officers. In 1982, he played the main role of the telefilm Jules et Juju. He died of a heart attack in a mythical restaurant in the rue de Berri, while, dining with friends, we just deposited on the table a huge platter of seafood on April 3, 1987. He is buried in the cemetery deJouars-Pontchartrain, in the Yvelines.
