-	'''Jean-Louis Trintignant''' (born on [[December 11]] [[1930]] in [[Piolenc]], [[Vaucluse]], [[France]]) is a [[France|French]] [[actor]].	+	{{R from move}}
-		+
-	At the age of twenty, Trintignant moved to [[Paris, France]] to study drama, and made his theatrical debut in [[1951]] going on to be seen as one of the most gifted French actors of the post-[[World War II|war]] era. After touring in the early [[1950s]] in several theater productions, his first motion picture appearance came in [[1955]] and the following year he gained stardom with his performance opposite [[Brigitte Bardot]] in [[Roger Vadim]]'s ''[[And God Created Woman]]''.	+
-		+
-	From a wealthy family, he is the nephew of race car driver, Louis Trintignant, who was killed in [[1933]] while practicing on the [[Péronne]] racetrack in [[Picardie]]. His other uncle, [[Maurice Trintignant]] (born 1917), was a [[Formula One]] driver who twice won the [[Monaco Grand Prix]] as well as the [[24 hours of Le Mans]]. Raised in and around automobile racing, Jean-Louis Trintignant was the natural choice of film director [[Claude Lelouch]] for the starring role of race car driver in the [[1966]] film, ''[[Un homme et une femme]]'', a global success that made him an international star.	+
-		+
-	Trintignant’s acting was interrupted for several years by mandatory military service. After serving in [[Algiers]], he returned to Paris and a very successful career. Subsequent leading roles in art-house classics such as ''[[The Sleeping Car Murders]]'', ''[[Un homme et une femme]]'' (''A Man and a Woman)'' (at the time the most successful French film ever screened in the foreign market), [[Bernardo Bertolucci|Bertolucci]]'s ''[[The Conformist (film)|The Conformist]]'', and the [[1969]] political thriller ''[[Z (film)|Z]]'', in which he portrayed an idealistic young attorney, garnered him an international following as well as the [[Best Actor Award (Cannes Film Festival)|Best Actor]] award at the 1969 [[Cannes Film Festival]].	+
-		+
-	In Italy, always dubbed into Italian, he worked with [[Valerio Zurlini]] in ''[[Summer Violent]]'' and ''[[The Desert of the Tartars]]'', [[Ettore Scola]]'s ''[[La terrazza]]'' but specially the cult film ''[[The Easy Life]]'' by [[Dino Risi]].	+
-		+
-	He married [[Nadine Marquand]], herself an actress as well as a screenwriter and director. Since divorced, they had a daughter, [[Marie Trintignant|Marie]] ([[January 21]] [[1962]] – [[August 1]] [[2003]]), who at the age of 17 performed in ''La terrazza'' alongside her father and became a very successful actress in her own right.	+
-		+
-	Throughout the 1970s Trintignant starred in numerous films and in [[1983]] he made his first [[English language]] feature film, ''Under Fire''. Following this, he starred in [[François Truffaut]]'s final film, ''[[Confidentially Yours]]''	+
-		+
-	In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Trintignant worked infrequently because of health problems (consecutive from a car accident) and a growing lack of interest for movies. His [[1994]] role in the late [[Krzysztof Kieślowski]]'s last film, ''[[Three Colors: Red]]'' marked a rare appearance for him but still earned him a [[César Award]] nomination for Best Actor.	+
-		+
-	The following year he lent his voice to the widely acclaimed ''[[The City of Lost Children|La Cité des Enfants Perdus]]'', and has made films only occasionally since. He has focused essentially on his stage work.	+
