Timeline

1932

Jean-Pierre Marielle (12 April 1932 – 24 April 2019) was a French actor.

He appeared in more than a hundred films in which he played very diverse roles, from a banal citizen (Les Galettes de Pont-Aven), to a World War II hero (Les Milles), to a compromised spy (), to a has-been actor (Les Grands Ducs), to his portrayal of Jacques Saunière in The Da Vinci Code.

He was well known for his distinctive cavernous voice, which is often imitated by French humorists who considered him to be archetypical of the French gentleman.

Marielle was born in 1932 in Paris to an industrialist father and a dressmaker mother.

His first acting experiences dated back to his high school years during which he staged some of Chekhov’s plays with his comrades.

1950

Marielle's early career consisted of stage roles with the Grenier-Hussenot company, notably in Harold Pinter’s plays, and some small appearances on the large screen by the late 1950s, with his particular voice giving him the abilities to play older characters.

However, disappointed by his first movie roles, he turned to cabaret for a certain time.

1954

He initially wanted to study literature but one of his teachers encouraged him to become an actor instead, so that he joined the Conservatoire National where he became close friends with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Rochefort and from where he left with the comedy second prize in 1954.

1960

He obtained a little more consistent roles in the 1960s in movies such as Faites sauter la banque! (1963), starring alongside Louis de Funès, Weekend at Dunkirk (1964) and in particular Un monsieur de compagnie (1965), where French director Philippe de Broca gave him the opportunity to express all of his talent.

1970

But his popularity really exploded during the 1970s as he appeared in a lot of comedies.

1974

In La Valise (1974) he played an Israeli spy having to hide in a trunk in order to be extracted from a country in the Middle East.

1975

Les Galettes de Pont-Aven (1975), Que la fête commence (1974) and Coup de Torchon (1981) confirmed him as a great actor.

1987

One of his best performances, which is also probably his darkest, lies in his wonderful interpretation of a disillusioned and suicidal cop in Les mois d'avril sont meurtriers (1987).

1992

He was awarded the Légion d’Honneur in 1992.

1994

The other major role of his career was Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe in Tous les matins du monde (1994).

In parallel he made a brilliant stage career and received the highest French award for a theater actor, the Molière, in 1994.

2003

Marielle was married to French actress Agathe Natanson from 4 October 2003 until his death and had a son from a previous union.

He was a great fan of jazz music and New York City.

2006

He played Jacques Sauniere in The Da Vinci Code (2006).

2019

Marielle died on April 24, 2019, at the age of 87.
