Biography

German-born actor Michel Auclair made his first impression upon international audiences with his supporting appearance in Jean Cocteau's La Belle et La Bete (1946). He gradually developed into a leading man in the post-war French cinema, with few appearances outside his adopted country. As his career continued into the 1970s, he could be seen on occasion in such international productions as The Day of the Jackal (1973), but still he was hardly a household name in the United States. Michel Auclair's most memorable English language appearance was his fourth-billed turn as Professor Emile Flostre in the Fred Astaire/Audrey Hepburn musical Funny Face (1957). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Michel Auclair (14 September 1922 – 7 January 1988) was an actor of Serbian and French ancestry, known best for his roles in French cinema.

Auclair was born Vladimir Vujović to a Serbian father and a French mother in Koblenz.[1] His father was Vojislav Vujović, prominent Yugoslav Communist and secretary of the Communist Youth International. Auclair moved to Paris when he was three years old.[1] He entered medical school but then studied acting at the CNSAD in Paris.[1]

While a major French star, he only had two English-language roles: as Professor Flostre in the 1957 musical Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, and as a French police investigator in Day of the Jackal (1973) with Edward Fox.[2]
