When
I suggested
to Gérard
in 2010 the idea to
create a
website,
dedicated to
his long
career, he
agreed and
to my utter
joy kindly
opened for
me his
personal
treasure box
to
make a visit
to his
website a
memorable
and
enjoyable
one.
I would like
to invite
you to
browse at
your leisure
through the
different
phases of Gérard
Chambre’s
career,
which
express the
talent and
the work of
Gerard. I
warmly
recommend
you to read
his
biography,
see the
extra pages
about his
work at the
movies,
music,
stage
work,
his
productions,
or his
Poem
collection.
Perhaps you
like to look
at the
photo
gallery
-
see rare,
never seen
photos
of
the first
appearance
of Gérard at
the cinema
at the age
of sixteen,
that of his
role of
André
in
Les amitiés
particulières
? (directed by
famous
Jean Delannoy)
Maybe you
are
fascinated
to know that
he still
receives fan
post for his
role in the
very popular
TV Series of
the
seventies
Le dessous
du ciel
– where he
played a
parachutist
and made
many
teenager
dream about
that
handsome
hero
Louis,
very blond
and with the
most
beautiful
blue eyes
and a seductive
smile?
There is his
role as a popular
Pop star,
who got into
trouble with
the
'Fiscal
authorities'
in
Le
vérificateur,
(with the
late
Bruno Pradal)
or his guest
role at the
side of
Jacques
Charrier
(ex-husband
of
Brigitte
Bardot)
in an
episode of
Le Champion.
For that
role the shooting
took place
in
New
York
and
Gérard
played a
decorated
American
athlete
sent to
prison for a
bank
hold-up!
Gérard
Chambre
stayed a
whole day in
prison
to play his
role
convincing –
and how he
did! The
last look we
see of
Gérard when
he has to
return to
prison is
heart
breaking!
Gérard made it
possible
that we
even liked him in
his role as
the rascal
Roland de Cauvignac
in
La guerre
des femmes
(Alexandre
Dumas)–
fantastic!
Renowned
movie director
Geoges
Lautner
gave him
twice a
role in his
movies. For
example in the
comedy
On aura tout
vu
(with
Pierre
Richard)
All who have
seen a
certain
scene
with him and
beautiful
Miou-Miou,
will
understand
why some
people still
call him
today
Aldo! I
admit I had
been very
amused
watching
that scene…!
I like you
to dream
along with
the sound of
his songs he
wrote not
just for
himself but
also
for other
musicians.
There is his sublime
interpretation
of the
unforgotten
chansons of
legendary
Jacques Brel.
Listening to Gérard's
La Fanette
and you will
understand
why his
concerts are
having such
an enormous
success.
To
do justice
to Gerard's
career, this
site will
always be
under
construction!
– which
greatly
pleases this
webmaster
here, who
likes to
express with
this tribute
website, in
honour of her
friend
Gérard, her
admiration
for this
precious and
magnificent
artist who
continually
surprises us
with his
huge talent!
Finally yet
importantly,
I like you
to see yet
another, a
very private side
of Gérard, that of a
very
generous man
towards
underprivileged
children.
He is
reluctant to
talk about
this, but we
cannot thank
him enough
in the name
of all the
children in
this
world...
Before I
close I
would like
to quote
Monsieur
Pierre
Cardin
the World
famous
fashion
designer who
said of him:
« Gérard
Chambre is a
very
talented man
and I have
always
followed him
in his
career. He
has a
certain
sense of
humour and
intelligence,
writes plays
and is very
accomplished.
»
Thank you
Gérard, for
all these
marvelous
moments you
offer us
ever since
you entered
the world of
show
business.
