Francis Lemaire(1936-2013)
- Actor
Belgian theater actor Francis Lemaire is best remembered for his role
of 'Oeil de Perdrix' in René de Obaldia's famous absurd play "Du vent
dans les branches de sassafras". When the play moved from Brussels to
Paris, he followed suit and happened to have Michel Simon as a partner
there. Besides his activities on the boards and on television he played
thirty-odd roles for the seventh art, but never found one in which he
could particularly assert himself as THE character actor very much in
demand. He embodied most of the time Belgian-born characters or
authority figures.
