Paris (AP) – The French actor Claude Brasseur (“Breakfast at Monsieur Henri”) is dead. He died on Tuesday at the age of 84, his agency Time Art in Paris reported, confirming French media information.
The Brasseur, who comes from a traditional family of actors, worked for film and television. In the course of around 60 years he made more than 110 films, reported the AFP news agency.
Brasseur, who was born Claude Espinasse near Paris in 1936, worked with cinema stars such as Jean-Luc Godard, Costa-Gavras and François Truffaut. When Sophie Marceau played herself in the hearts of cinema audiences as a teenager in love in Claude Pinoteau’s “La Boum – Die Fete” in 1980, Brasseur was seen on the screen as her father. In 2015 the mime appeared in the comedy “Breakfast at Monsieur Henri” by director Ivan Calbérac.
