Jules Eugène Louis Jouvet Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Louis Jouvet was a living glory of the French theatre where he debuted in 1910. In his life he has worked as pharmacist, manager of a theatre, actor and theatre teacher. He debuted at the movies in 1932 and his best films were of the Golden Age of French cinema called the "poetical realism", e.g. "Hotel du Nord (1938)" or "La La fin du jour (1939)...
One works in the theatre because one senses that one has never been oneself, that one cannot be oneself - that, at last, one has found the way to become oneself.
Auditioned for the Conservatoire National Superieur d'Art Dramatique in his early years and was rejected three times.
3
Had a stammering and diction problem as a youth.
4
In 1941, having experienced serious problems with the censorship of the German occupier, he took his repertory company on international tours. He was not to return to France until the war was over.
5
Dedicated his life to the theatre and took on film roles solely for the purpose of financing his theatre company.
6
Father of three children with Else, Anne-Marie in 1914, John Paul in 1917, and actress Lisa Jouvet in 1924.
7
In 1936 he became teacher of acting technique and theatrical history at the Conservatoire de Paris but he did not like that work and had probably had to accept it unwillingly. Very often he arrived late to lessons and compared his watch with a grandfather clock that was in the classroom. One day he explicated his habit to the students telling them: "It's always amazing for me to see something going ahead in this institution that is still since a century".
