Inspector Maigret dies at the age of 80. by Milota Sidorova

Sometimes old stories appear in the shiny light. Sometimes even old stars have their old glimpse and cover our eyes with the silver dust. Sometimes the words that seemed to be fatal turn out to be fatal.I didn't know anything about Bruno Jean Marie Cremer, the persona that seemed to me more like French local acting star. Ok, there was something about his life role – pipe-smoking Inspector Jules Maigret. Sometimes these detective characters like Inspector Cluzo, Sherlock Holmes, Dempsey, Monk or just Policeman from St.Tropez turn out to be important part of common cinema, social and cultural heritage. For Jules Maigret it was his pipe and almost uninterested attitude f! or anybody around. With the same uninterested face and low voice he was able to track down criminals. Although the old series made quite a success, the modern one lacked good performing that was reduced on mere Cremer presence. But still, if we look behind Maigret, there will be some more interesting about Cremer himself. For instance his belief that he would be an actor. According his own words otherwise he would be lost, not knowing what to do in life. With this belief he was accepted to the Paris Conservatory. Among his best roles were considered theater pieces in Shakespeare's “Pericles”, Oscar Wilde's “An Ideal Husband” and Jean Anouilh's “Poor Bitos”and “Becket”. Later on he appeared in dozens of movies and fifty-four television movies as Commissaire Maigret. Maigret took him 14 years of his life, being produced by French TV from 1991 to 2005. Maigret was able to perform even in his 75 years. His real alter ego died on! Saturday in Paris hospital at the age of 80.
