Biography
Georges Wilson (né Willson; 16 October 1921 – 3 February 2010) was a French actor and director of stage and screen. He was a significant figure in French theatre during the latter 20th-century, serving as director of the Theatre National Populaire from 1963 and 1972, while his film work earned him both BAFTA Award and Cesar Award nominations. He was also the father of French actor Lambert Wilson. Wilson was born in Champigny-sur-Marne, Seine (now Val-de-Marne) as the illegitimate son of a French father and an Irish mother. His professional surname, Wilson, derives from his Irish grandmother; his birthname has not been made public. He was nominated for a BAFTA Film Award, and also nominated for a César Award. Georges Wilson's last film was Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One. From 1963 to 1972 Georges Wilson was the director of the Théâtre national de Chaillot (formerly known as the Théâtre National Populaire). Georges Wilson died in Rambouillet in 2010, aged 88, from undisclosed causes. Source: Article "Georges Wilson" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA.
