Biography

Michel Galabru, a renowned French actor and writer, embarked on his life's journey on October 27, 1922, in the picturesque city of Safi, which was then under the French Protectorate of Morocco, but is now an independent nation.

Throughout his illustrious career, Galabru made a lasting impact on the world of cinema, leaving behind a legacy of iconic roles in films such as "Subway" (1985),"La Cage aux Folles" (1978),and "Asterix and Obelix vs. Caesar" (1999).

In his personal life, Galabru was twice married, first to Claude Etevenon and later to Annette Jacquot, with whom he shared a deep and abiding love.

Tragically, Michel Galabru's remarkable life came to a close on January 4, 2016, in the City of Light, Paris, France, leaving behind a void that can never be filled.
