Biography

Ballet was born in Lyon in January 1941 to a large family. Seeking to become an architect, he attended the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon, but he was expelled from the school.[1] He then attended the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Lyon and took drama classes. His first play was directed by Marcel Maréchal, who offered him an understudy role in "Compagnie du Cothurne".[1]

From 1962 to the 1980s, Ballet appeared exclusively in plays directed by Maréchal. He also took part in cinema, appearing in dozens of films.

Ballet died on 17 February 2022, at the age of 81.[2]
