Michel Leeb
Michel Leeb discovered his passion for jazz at the age of 10 when his mother gave him a Ray Charles's vinyl ('Dedicated to you'). Then his passion grew permanently especially after having seen Oscar Peterson in concert in Paris when he was 16. Actually he always said that he would have chosen jazz if he had the choice between jazz and acting although he's now more famous as a comedian than as a jazz crooner. As a teenager he spent several years at a Jesuit pensionary where he was so bored that he started to develop more his comic skills. Then he became a (funny!) teacher of philosophy but changed later to be a comedian. As Peterson is his model for jazz, Jerry Lewis is his model for acting. His second passion for acting also came from his mother who was an artist and who brought him several times at the Comédie-Française to see some Molière's plays. Therefore he developed a very good sense of humour and mimics that made him a kind of French version of Lewis. He appears in one-man shows and plays in theatres but also appeared in several TV shows and movies. He married his wife Béatrice in Las Vegas and had 3 children: Fanny, Tom and Elsa. His family is very important for him especially because he was very affected by the separation of his parents when he was young. In 2001, he started to act in a theatrical version of Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) (adapted by Albert Algoud) in Paris, with Caroline Tresca.
Michel Lemoine
Actor, writer, director, and producer Michel Charles Lemoine was born on September 30, 1922 in Pantin, Seine-Saint-Denis, France.

Michel continued to work steadily on stage throughout the 1950's and began acting in movies initially in small parts in the late 1940's. However, it wasn't until the 1960's that Lemoine's film career really took off with his meaty role as Marco in La vendetta della maschera di ferro (1961). In the wake of this cinematic breakthrough Michel went on to act in a diverse array of Italian pictures that encompassed such genres as Westerns, thrillers, science fiction, spy movies, and costume dramas. Among the notable directors that Lemoine acted in movies for are Mario Bava, Sacha Guitry, Jesús Franco, Julien Duvivier, Antonio Margheriti, and José Bénazéraf. Michel directed his first film Wie kurz ist die Zeit zu lieben (1970) in 1970 and caused a huge stir at Cannes with his racy follow-up feature Les désaxées (1972). Moreover, Lemoine's offbeat The Most Dangerous Game (1932) variant Les week-ends maléfiques du Comte Zaroff (1976) proved to be so controversial that it wound being banned in its native France after the government censor gave the film an X certificate which in turn limited its theatrical distribution to sex cinemas that didn't allow anyone under 18 to patronize. Michel eventually made the leap from soft-core erotica to more explicit hardcore fare in the late 1970's that were done using various pseudonyms and frequently starred French porn starlet Olinka Hardiman. Lemoine died at age 90 on July 27, 2013 at his home in Vinon, Cher, France.
