Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin (8 May 1903 – 26 February 1971), better known as Fernandel, was a French actor and singer. Born in Marseille, France, to Desired Bedouin and Denis Contandin, originating in Perosa Argentina, an Occitan town located in the province of Turin. He was a comedy star who first gained popularity in French vaudeville, operettas, and music-hall revues. His stage name originated from his marriage to Henriette Manse, the sister of his best friend and frequent cinematic collaborator Jean Manse. So attentive was he to his wife that his mother-in-law amusingly referred to him as Fernand it ("Fernand of her").
Fernandel has acted in films with Louis de Funès, Françoise Arnoul, Noël Roquevert and Andrex.
Fernandel has worked with these film directors: Henri Verneuil, Gerd Oswald, Julien Duvivier and Marcel Pagnol.
