Fernand Ledoux

Fernand Ledoux (born Jacques Joseph Félix Fernand Ledoux, Tirlemont, January 24, 1897 - died Villerville, September 21, 1993) was a French film and theatre actor of Belgian origin. He studied with Raphaël Duflos at the CNSAD, and began his career with small roles at the Comédie-Française. He appeared in close to eighty films, with his most famous turn coming as the stationmaster Roubaud in Jean Renoir's La Bête humaine of 1938, but he remained primarily a theatrical actor for the duration of his career.

Ledoux was married to Fernande Thabuy, with whom he had four children; he was an amateur painter, and lived for many years at Pennedepie in Normandy. Later he moved to Villerville, where he died and where he is buried.
