Jacques Tati

Jacques Tatischeff was born in Le Pecq on 9 October 1907, the grandson of a Russian general posted in Paris and the son of a picture framer. A rugby player at the Racing Club de France after his military service, he amused his teammates by miming the matches, and made a music-hall number out of these imitations, the Impressions sportives. He made only six feature films in thirty years; the failure of one of them led to the liquidation of his production company and the seizure of his films. He died in Paris in November 1982.
