AboutSerge Reggiani was a French actor & singer, born on May 2, 1922 in Reggio Nell'Emilia, Italy & dead on July 23, 2004 in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. From a humble & antifascist family, he moved to Yvetot, in France at 8. In 1939, he joined Paris' Drama Conservatoire. In 1941, he started his career in the play "Le Loup-Garou", then in "Britannicus" & "Les Parents Terribles". In 1945, Serge married Janine Darcey, they had 2 children, Stéphan & Karine & they divorced in 1955. Following World War II, Serge played in films like "Casque D'Or" with Simone Signoret.

In 1963, thanks to Jacques Canetti, he recorded his first songs. In 1965, his first album included songs written by Boris Vian. Bad as a singer, he was still good as an actor, in "Les Séquestrés D'Altona". In 1966, Barbara chose Serge as a supporting act. With his beautiful baritone voice, he had sung "Le Barbier De Belleville", "Ma Liberté", "Les Loups Sont Entrés Dans Paris", "Sarah", "Venise N'Est Pas En Italie" & "Le Déserteur".
