Biography
French lyricist, dancer-choreographer, and actor, born October 12, 1935, in Marseille and died February 18, 2001, in Poigny.
He became prolific following a proposal from Claude Carrère, Sheila's producer. He became her dance teacher, choreographing some of her songs while also performing as her dancer under the name Johnny Mary.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, he made occasional forays into film and television as an actor or screenwriter.
