Michel Auclair (born Vladimir Vujović, Serbian: Владимир Вујовић; 14 September 1922 – 7 January 1988) was an actor of Serbian and French ancestry, known best for his roles in French cinema.
Auclair was born to a Serbian father (born in Požarevac, Serbia) and a French mother in Koblenz.[1] His father was Vojislav Vujović, prominent Yugoslav Communist and secretary of the Communist Youth International. Auclair moved to Paris when he was three years old.[1] He entered medical school but then studied acting at the CNSAD in Paris.[1]
While a major French star, he only had two English-language roles: as Professor Flostre in the 1957 musical Funny Face with Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire, and as a French police investigator in Day of the Jackal (1973) with Edward Fox.[2]
