Patrick Dewaere
Biography
Patrick Dewaere was a French actor born at Saint-Brieuc in Brittany, whose mother, the actress Mado Maurin, turned acting into a family affair, and his siblings became performers as well. He made his film debut as a child under the name Patrick Maurin in Amazing Monsieur Fabre (1951), and appeared on French television in the early 1960s before joining the Café de Gare stage troupe in 1968, taking the stage name Dewaere and staying with the company nearly a decade. Leading roles in Bertrand Blier's Going Places (1974) alongside Gérard Depardieu brought him stardom, and he became known for playing sensitive, scruffy misfits and neurotics in films such as Catherine & Co. (1975), The French Detective (1975), Get Out Your Handkerchiefs (1978), Coup de tête (1979), Série noire (1979) and Paradis pour tous (1982). Nominated seven times for César awards, he never won. He died in 1982.
