RIP Jean Louis

 

Rex Lee from the Western Maniac website has posted that French actor Jean Louis died in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, France during the night between December 30-31, 2020 in Nice, France. Louis has been one of the those mysterious actors that there was little to no information available. Finally on December 24, 2020 Jacques Pradel posted on the Indianagilles website that he had made contact with Jean Louis’ partner Geneviève Hersent and had acquired much of the long sought information on the French actor. He promised to post more information in January but we are still waiting for a follow up post.

Jean was born on February 5,1934 in Meknes, Morocco and appeared in some twenty films beginning with his appearance as Slim Baxter in 1966’s “Ramon the Mexican”. During his acting career he also became a dubbing director and actor dubbing Italian films into French while still in Rome.
