Jean-Louis Barrault
French postcard by Edition P.I., Paris, no. 21.
Jean-Louis Barrault (1910-1994) was a French actor, director and mime artist. His pantomime training with Etienne Decroux served him well when he portrayed the 19th-century mime Jean-Gaspard Deburau in Les Enfants du Paradis (Marcel Carné, 1945). A rebel with many causes, Barrault hid French Underground members on the set of Les Enfants du paradis.
