          Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin (8 May – 26 February ),[1] better known as Fernandel, was a French comic actor.

          Born in Marseille, France, to Désirée Bedouin and Denis Contandin, originating in Perosa Argentina, a town located in the province of Turin, Italy,[2] he became a comedy star, first gaining popularity in French vaudeville, operettas, and music-hall revues.

          His stage name originated from his marriage to Henriette Manse, the sister of his best friend and frequent cinematic collaborator Jean Manse. So attentive was he to his wife that his mother-in-law amusingly referred to him as Fernand d'elle ("Fernand of her").[
