Full Biography
|Yves Vincent (5 August 1921 – 6 January 2016) was a French film and television actor.
Biography
Born in Haute-Savoie, Yves Vincent spent a large part of his youth in French Algeria where he started out in the troupe of the Comédie de Radio-Algérie.
In cinema, he made his first film in 1944 in Cairo with his mother, the prelude to a long career.
He appeared in numerous television films and soap operas. Between 1988 and 1991, he played Judge Garonne in the television series Tribunal.
In October 2013, he published his memoirs: Do you want to smile with me?, published by Christian Navarro, where he recounts, among other things, his relationship with Ingrid Bergman, Edwige Feuillère and Brigitte Bardot. In 2015, with the same publisher, he published the novel Des Vagues à l'Âme. In late 2016, the actor's last autobiographical work was released posthumously: "4, boulevard Laferrière" (ed. Christian Navarro), in which he reveals fragments of his childhood and adolescence, as if his own disappearance was not an end.
His funeral took place on 13 January 2016 in a civil ceremony at the Joigny crematorium.
