About Fernand Ledoux
Fernand Ledoux (born Jacques Joseph Félix Fernand Ledoux, 24 January 1897, Tirlemont – 21 September 1994, Villerville) 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 best remembered role being the stationmaster Roubaud in Jean Renoir's La Bête humaine (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.
