Roland Petit, a multifaceted individual, entered this world on January 13, 1924, in the charming town of Villemomble, situated within the Seine-Saint-Denis department of France.
This talented writer and actor left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment, with some of his most notable works including the 1960 film "Black Tights", the 1967 production "Le Jeune Homme et la Mort", and the 1952 film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale.
Throughout his life, Petit was blessed with a loving partnership with the beautiful and talented Zizi Jeanmaire, his wife.
Regrettably, Roland Petit's time on this earth came to an end on July 10, 2011, in the picturesque city of Geneva, located within the Canton of Geneva in Switzerland.
