Paul Grassot in A Straw Hat from Italy (1851) by Eugène Labiche and Marc-Michel.
Paul Grassot (simply known as Grassot, born Jacques Antoine Grassot in Paris on 16 September 1799[1][2] (or 1800[3][4][5] or 1804[6]), where he died on 18 January 1860) was a French stage actor.[7][8][9]
Biography
He spent his entire career at the Palais-Royal theatre. His eccentric acting, his hoarse voice and his buffoonish pantomime made him one of the most applauded comedians in Paris.
On 29 May 1852[10] (some sources say earlier)[3] he married his colleague Françoise Billiard, known under the name of Madame Grassot, in Paris.
Started at the Palais-Royal in 1838. Entered the Gymnasium in 1833, with his wife.[3]
Henry Lyonnet gave him the first name of Paul (an error which has been perpetuated), while Edmond-Denis de Manne clearly indicates in the baptismal extract the first names of Jacques Antoine. However the latter quotes an act of 22 Nivôse year VIII (12 January 1800), while the reconstituted civil status of Paris only includes one form on the date of 16 September 1799.[11] This may also relate to different dates given for his birth and marriage.
