Biography

It borrows also the pseudonym Patrick Maurin until 1967 (it will learn at the 17 years age that it is in fact the natural child of a lover of his mother, the opera singer and leader Michel Têtard, which is supposed deceased since 1960 at the 35 years age, according to Mado Maurin, his/her mother). He is the half-brother of the Acteur S Dominique Maurin - Colignon, Yves-Marie Maurin, Marie-Veronique Maurin, Jean-François Vlerick and Jean-Pierre Maurin (deceased).

To date often regarded as the actor more the brilliance of his generation, Patrick Dewaere incarnated the " fury of vivre" with the Frenchwoman and remains a model for the generations of young actors who succeeded to him. Its play is characterized by a naturalness, an exactitude and a truth in the expressions, the gestures and the attitudes which from now on are judged like close relations of that of the Actors Studio, inventive and generous whereas in its time, in the years 1970, criticisms preferred the “roundnesses” and the less subtle play of its professional, competitor alter-ego and especially friend: Gerard Depardieu.

For its first appearances at age the 4 years, in particular in television serials, like his half-brothers and sisters, it will use for pseudonym, the name of his mother, the actress Mado Maurin. This childish period is tumultuous and he suffers from the artistic competition between “small Maurin”. After about thirty plays and telefilms with success for ORTF, it will choose to take field compared to its family (in particular by learning, at 17 years, that he is not the natural child of his father). Because of a family disagreement (it will be practically dispossessed of a heritage by his mother), it will choose the Patronyme his grandmother, name under which it knows the celebrity (but with the passage, with the light typographical error of the letter W, his/her grandmother naming ventilated De' v' ). It benefits from the events of May 1968, to meet actors alternate and joined the team of Romain Bouteille. It will thus divide the boards of the Café of the Station with Coluche, Henri Guybet, Martin Lamotte, Renaud Séchan, his first wife Sotha and the passion of its life Miou-Miou before the theater does not accommodate Gerard Lanvin, Gerard Depardieu, Rufus then Thierry Lhermitte, Josiane Balasko, Anémone and Gerard Jugnot. In parallel, Dewaere is tested with the postsynchronization of foreign films, in particular the Prize winner where it lends his voice to Dustin Hoffman, at the sides of Rosy Varte (French voice of Anne Bancroft).

It appears with the general public in the Waltzers of Bertrand Blier, film where it appears at the sides of Gerard Depardieu and Miou-Miou in 1974, with which it will live a passion in love intense before she cracks for Julien Clerc during the turning of the film F like Fairbanks or him and Miou-Miou like and tear with the life as with the scene. It will have however a girl of her fore-mentioned Angèle (August 13rd 1974).

Whereas its career becomes extensive with great roles in Coup of head (1979), Black series (1979), a bad son (1980), Dewaere undergoes the vindication of the press and the media. During this period, he judged like a deep treason the revelations of Patrice de Nussac, a journalist (Sunday newspaper) who had promised to him - because of bonds of friendship - not to make burst at the great day his marriage in 1980. After having given a violent one punch to the journalist, Dewaere will be the subject of a true boycotting of the press and media. Consequently, he will not be interviewed any more and its name will go even until being forgotten in the distribution of a film. An example without precedent in France. The producers will test some reserves then it to be used.

At the same period, his/her new Elsa partner with whom it will have one second girl (Lola), leaves it for his/her best friend. July 16th, 1982, It puts suddenly fine at its days in its house of the 14th district in Paris of a blow of rifle 22 long riffle, offered before by Coluche, without leaving a word of explanation but after a telephone call of which one knows nothing but which, according to the witnesses (among whom Claude Lelouch which had seen it the morning even its death) had upset it. It was 35 years old and had made 36 films. According to recent revelations of Mado Maurin, his/her mother, the telephone call would come from his/her partner from then (Elsa), which alive from now on with her best friend Coluche in Guadeloupe, would have announced her rupture to him and which it " would re-examine never again his/her daughter (Lola) ". In 2007, at the time of documentary of France 2, his/her Lola daughter will confirm itself that this telephone call will have been " an element déclenchant" of its suicide.

At the time of its suicide, it was going to begin the turning of Edith and Marcel of Claude Lelouch in which it was to incarnate Marcel Cerdan.
