Douta Seck, a renowned thespian, entered this world on the fourth day of August, nineteen hundred and nineteen, in the picturesque town of Saint-Louis-du-Sénégal, which was then a part of Afrique-Occidentale Française, a French colonial territory that is now a sovereign nation known as Senegal.
Throughout his illustrious career, Seck gained recognition for his captivating performances in a variety of films, including the 1956 production of "The Adventures of Gil Blas", the 1981 release "En résidence surveillée", and the 1958 film "Tamango".
Tragically, Douta Seck's life came to a close on the fifth day of November, nineteen hundred and ninety-one, in the bustling city of Dakar, Senegal, where he left behind a lasting legacy in the world of cinema.
