The veteran French actor Michel Galabru, winner of a Cesar Award (French Oscars) has died aged 93 years old. Despite his many heavyweight serious roles he will always be fondly remembered for play the ultra-conservative politician Simon Charrier in the classic gay movie “La Cages Aux Folles”. When forced to don drag to avoid the Press, he bitterly complained that ”white was too fattening”.
Michel Edmond Galabru (27 October 1922 – 4 January 2016)
