On August 16, the famous French actor Pierre Richard celebrates his 85th birthday. His film career did not develop quickly: only by the age of 33 did he receive his first noticeable role in Yves Robert's film “Lucky Alexander”. Then Richard played in the films "Scattered", "Tall Blond in a Black Boot", "Do not lose sight" and "Toy", which made him a star of French comedy. His duet with Gerard Depardieu was a great success with the audience - they starred together in the films of Francis Weber “Unlucky”, “Dad” and “Runaways”. Richard was assigned the role of a comedian, although he himself is convinced that only dramatic roles allow the artist’s talent to be fully revealed. And Depardieu called his colleague "the tragedy who hides behind the mask of a comedian."
