As no one else seems interested, I’ll point out that Charlie Hebdo victim (and Legion of Honor holder) Georges Wolinski also had a profile as a movie maker including directing Le pays beau (1972 Short) and scripts for Elles ne pensent qu'à ça... (Charlotte Dubreuil 1994 ) Palace (TV Series 1988 ) Pizzaiolo et Mozzarel (Christian Gion 1985) Le cowboy (Georges Lautner 1985) Aldo et Junior (Patrick Schulmann 1984) Le roi des cons (Claude Confortès 1981) and commentary for Mario Ruspoli Shorts - La chavalanthrope (1972 ) Chaval (1970).
He appeared in Intime conviction (2006 TV Series) Membre du Jury - L'affaire Lio (2006) Non chiamarmi Omar (1992) Paulette, la pauvre petite milliardaire (1986) Aldo et Junior (1984) Vive les femmes! (1984) Le roi des cons (1981) Le chauffeur de taxi along with being himself in TV news programs and doing the art work for Gerard Pirés Erotissimo.
The cliché is “an iconic presence.”
