Biography

Claude Gensac, a French actress of extraordinary renown, made her debut on the stage of life on March 1, 1927, leaving an enduring legacy that would forever be etched in the annals of cinematic and theatrical history. For an impressive span of over six decades, Gensac's remarkable career unfolded, replete with over 70 notable film and television appearances, each one a testament to her impressive range and adaptability.

The esteemed French actress, Geneviève Gensac, embarked upon a remarkable acting career in 1952, inaugurating a lifelong journey with her debut performance as Evelyne in the feature film La Vie d'un homme honnête. This inaugural venture, in fact, precipitated a long-standing and highly productive creative partnership with the illustrious actor Louis de Funès, with whom she would share the screen in numerous cinematic endeavors, frequently assuming the role of his wife.

Noted French actress, Josephte Gensac, left an indelible mark on the cinematic world with her captivating portrayal of Josepha Cruchot, the devoted wife of the iconic Louis de Funès, in the series of films "Les Gendarmes". This standout performance not only showcased her remarkable acting prowess but also cemented her status as a talented thespian. Following the untimely passing of her esteemed colleague, Louis de Funès, in 1983, Gensac took a brief hiatus from the silver screen, opting instead to focus on her impressive theatrical career, where she continued to dazzle audiences with her remarkable range and versatility.

The extraordinary resurgence of Gensac's cinematic presence in the year 2001 marked a significant milestone in her remarkable career, as she made a triumphant return to the big screen with a memorable appearance in the French adaptation of the beloved sitcom Absolutely Fabulous, thus ending a nearly two-decade hiatus from film acting that had begun in 1983.

Throughout the extensive duration of her illustrious and storied career, Gensac has had the distinction of appearing in an impressive array of over 100 diverse and varied cinematic and television productions, as well as numerous theatrical roles that have showcased her remarkable range and versatility as a performer.

Gensac's remarkable artistic achievements were formally acknowledged and honored with the prestigious Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, a prestigious French order of merit, when she was conferred the officer grade in the year 2011.

As for her personal life, Gensac's journey was marked by two significant marital unions. Her first marriage was to the renowned French actor, Pierre Mondy, a union that lasted from 1952 until 1954. Following the dissolution of this marriage, she went on to marry Henri Chemin, a former racing driver and PR Manager of Ford France, with whom she shared a son.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of the renowned French actress, Claude Gensac, who slipped away quietly in her slumber on December 27, 2016, at the ripe age of 89.
