About Jacqueline Maillan

Jacqueline Jeanne Paule Maillan was a French actress with a career spanning almost five decades, known primarily for her forty theatre productions, she also appeared in more than fifty films and is remembered as one of the greatest comedic thespians of her generation and even nicknamed "The Louis de Funès in skirt". After working on the classics of French theatre, she excelled in playing exuberant, strong and powerful women in vaudeville and boulevard on stage or in such films as Jean-Marie Poiré's cult Gramps Is in the Resistance before pioneering stand-up in France. Her husband Michel Emer, who was Édith Piaf's composer, helped her hide her bisexuality from the public as they lived as a 'free couple' when it was then deeply stigmatized during the 1950s and 1960s. She was made a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur and Officer of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
