Line Renaud (1928), is a French singer, stage and screen actress, and Aids activist. In 1946 Renaud started acting in film and still does so. Her singing skills were often at the heart of her roles. Renaud’s best known film is Dany Boon's comedy Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis (2008). This comedy lead to several new roles.
Line Renaud was born Jacqueline Enté in the district of Pont-de-Nieppe in the north of France in 1928. Her father was a truck driver, her mother a stenotypist. Because of her father's activity as a trumpeter in the local brass band, she got into contact with music. At age seven, she won an amateur contest. During the Second World War, her father was mobilised and prisoner of war, so she was raised by her mother, grandmother. Her girlfriends call her "the commander" because she knew what she wanted and you always had to listen to her. Having failed at the age of 14 in the Primary School Certificate, she was spotted at the entrance examination at the Lille Conservatory: the very evening of her audition, the director of Radio-Lille suggested that she join his orchestra; she made herself known under the name of Jacqueline Ray. She began working in the music hall in Paris in 1945 and landed her first engagement at the Folies-Belleville.
Through Josette Daydé, she met the songwriter Loulou Gasté (1908-1995), twenty years older than her, who made her take a stage name. She chose Renaud, borrowing from her grandmother Marguerite Renard her surname, and changing one letter. In 1947, she recorded Ma cabane au Canada, which received the Grand Prix du Disque in 1949. In 1950, she married Loulou Gasté, who remained her husband until her death in 1995. She continued her success with titles such as Étoile des neiges ( 1950), Ma p'tite folie (1952), Mademoiselle d'Armentières (1952), and Le Chien dans la vitrine (1952) whose barking was done by the famous French voice over Roger Carel, as he explained during his visit to the Tribunal des flagrants délires, on November 12, 1980.
In 1954 she sang at the Moulin Rouge, collecting several prizes that year, causing Edith Piaf's jealousy. Thanks to Bob Hope she left for the United States, singing at the theatres of New York and Los Angeles, and at the Ed Sullivan Show. She sings in a duet with Dean Martin Relaxez-vous. At the end of 1955, she was the first French singer to sing a Rock and Roll song: Tweedle Dee by Lavern Baker. In 1959, she became a revue leader at the Casino de Paris, then she was engaged in Dunes, a casino in Las Vegas between 1963 and 1965. She also sang in London. Frequenting Nate Jacobson, the founder of Caesar’s Palace at Las Vegas, and her lover for 18 years, she was also involved in the creation of this hotel-casino (in terms of decoration and the auditorium). In April 1960, she became Johnny Hallyday's godmother for his first television appearance on Aimée Mortimer's L'école des vedettes. In the 1970s, she presented on television the Line Directe show. In the same decade, she was the producer of Tony Bennett's shows for the Kings Castle in Las Vegas. In the 1980s, she produced the television show Telle est Line on Antenne 2, and began a theater career. In the same decade, she sang Le Soir with Dalida, of whom she was a very close friend. In the 1990s, while the casino hotel Paris Las Vegas was planned, she contacted the mayor of Paris Jean Tibéri, in order to authorize the construction of a replica of the Eiffel Tower on the building. She became artistic director of the establishment and invited Catherine Deneuve and Charles Aznavour for the inauguration in 1999, while singing on stage with Michel Legrand.
In 2008, Renaud was president of the jury of the Miss France 2009 election. Ten years later, December 2018, she renewed the experience by presiding the jury of Miss France 2019. She is a member of the sponsorship committee of the French Coordination for the Decade of the culture of peace and non-violence, and vice-president of the association Sidaction. At the end of 2009, she joined the critics of Sidaction chair Pierre Bergé against the Téléthon. After thirty years of absence, she returned to singing and recorded a new album, entitled Rue Washington (in reference to the recording studio Labomatic located in this street). Directed by Dominique Blanc-Francard, the album includes two duets, the first with Johnny Hallyday, Un monde merveilleux, a cover of What a Wonderful World, the second with Mylène Farmer, C'est pas l'heure, with words by Framer and music by Laurent Boutonnat. Famous names such as Julien Clerc, Michel Delpech, and Salvatore Adamo, collaborated on this project. The song Torrents d'amour from the album ranked 24th in the bestseller list at its release in November 2010. On May 24 and 25, 2011, Line Renaud performed for the first time in her career, at the Olympia in Paris. In October 2017, she opened a street bearing her name in Las Vegas. The path, located near the mythical Strip, the gigantic artery that runs through the city, provides access to a secondary entrance to the casino Caesars Palace. The "Line Renaud Road" is not far from the streets bearing the names of his friends Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin.
In 1946 Renaud started acting in film and still does so. Her singing skills were often at the heart of her roles. Her first part was that of the singer singing Tant que tu m'aimeras in La Foire aux chimères (1946) by Pierre Chenal. After a small part in Une belle garce (Jacques Daroy, 1948) and playing herself in the documentary Au fil des ondes (Pierre Gautherin 1951), Renaud became the star of Ils sont dans les vignes (Robert Vernay, 1952), a musical comedy about a salesman of a non-alcoholic drink, who tries to set up market right in the Burgundy wine area. Renaud is the daughter of the local bar owner and the love interest of the salesman. In addition to playing herself in more films of the fifties, she again played the daughter of the local bar owner in La Madelon (Jean Boyer, 1955), in which she has to fight the too brash soldiers during the First World War, but she is a tough girl, so she manages. They go wild for her song Madelon, which becomes a kind of hymn to them. In the police comedy Mademoiselle et son gang (Jean Boyer, 1957), Renaud played the daughter of a police inspector, who under pseudonym writes crime novels, but then gets into trouble with real gangsters. In 1959 she played in another comedy, L’Increvable (Jean Boyer, 1959) with Dary Cowl as a barman in love with his boss’s wife (Renaud), deciding to draw up a life insurance in favor of his beloved, an act which becomes known.
After a gap of almost two decades, Renaud returned to the film set with La Folle journée ou le mariage de Figaro (1988) by Roger Coggio. She now played roles of mothers and grandmothers. She alternated comedies such Ripoux contre ripoux (Claudi Zidi, 1990) and Ma femme me quitte (Didier Kaminka, 1995) with drama such as J’ai sommeil (1994) by Claire Denis, based on the true story of killer of old ladies who was active in the North of France from the late 1980s. Renaud played a supporting part as hotel owner who teaches self-defense to old ladies. For her supporting part in the comedy Belle-maman (Gabriel Aghion, 1999), starring Vincent Lindon and Catherine Deneuve, Renaud received a César Nomination in 2000. In Coline Serreau’s 2001 film Chaos she is the mother-in-law of the protagonist Helen (Catherine Frot), earning her a second César nomination. After Serreau’s film 18 ans après (2003), the sequel to Trois hommes et un couffin (1985), the Claude Lelouch comedy Le Courage d'aimer (2005), followed the comedy La Maison du bonheur (Dany Boon, 2006), based on the classic Mr. Blandings builds his Dream House.
Renaud’s nationally and internationally best known film is Dany Boon’s Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis (2008). This comedy, directed and coscripted by Boon, with Kad Merad and himself in the lead, focuses on a cheating post office director (Merad) forced to move to a little city in the North of France, a region badly considered in the rest of France, for its heavy dialect, its limited cuisine, its bad weather, and alcoholism. The post man discovers it is not that bad in the end. The film broke records in France, started tourism towards the North, and inspired Italian remakes. Renaud played the mother of the local hero, Antoine (Boon). Boon himself exploited his success and the North discovery with his comedy La Ch'tite Famille (2018), with Renaud again playing his mother; her third part in film by Boon. Apart from the cruiseship comedy La Croisière (2011) by Pascale Pouzadoux, in which Renaud is an old lady who smuggles her dog aboard, La Ch'tite Famille is the last film with Renaud that appeared. A tragicomedy with Renaud, Let's Dance (Ladislas Chollat, 2019) is set to appear this year.

A night picture with 60 % of the Ecuadorian Line fleet on one quay. From front to back are the Barrington Island, Charles Island and Albemarle Island at the BNFW Terminal at the Leopold dock at the port of Antwerp. There are two vessels missing from this picture : the Hood Island which was in Guayaquil at the time this picture was taken and Duncan Island, which was in the Caribbean, on its way to Miami, FL before returning to Antwerp.
The vessels’ rotation is Antwerp, New York, Guayaquil, Miami and back to Antwerp as they bring Bonita brand tropical fruit from Central America to northern markets.
Although all of these vessels are regular visitors to Antwerp, I have never seen 3 sister vessels in port at the same time.
All these vessels were built in 1993 at the Danyard at Frederikshavn, Denmark
I just felt like taking a night picture of these vessels :-)
I pieced the "E". Inspiriation from Karyn's Maisy Quilt which I love.
