Boris Vian, a multifaceted individual, entered this world on March 10, 1920, in the picturesque Ville d'Avray, a commune located in the Hauts-de-Seine department of Île-de-France, France. This talented writer and actor would go on to leave an indelible mark on the world of literature and cinema, with his work featuring prominently in notable films such as Two Days in Paris, released in 2007, as well as the critically acclaimed movies Dangerous Liaisons, which premiered in 1959, and Rocco and His Brothers, which hit the big screen in 1960.
Throughout his life, Vian was married to two remarkable women, Ursula Kubler and Michelle Vian, with whom he shared a deep and abiding love. Tragically, his life was cut short when he passed away on June 23, 1959, in the city of love and light, Paris, France.
