Wahid Bouzidi was born on 9 July 1978 in Villepinte, Seine-Saint-Denis, France. He was an actor and writer, known for 8 Assassins (2014), City Hunter (2018) and 30 jours max (2020). He died on 20 August 2023 in Marrakech, Morocco.- Chelita Salvatori was born to a wealthy white Trinidadian family - her mother, Connie, was English, and her father's family were from Corsican origin. As a girl, Chelita was sketched by Pablo Picasso, and was educated at the Lycee in South Kensington, London, and in Paris, from where she ran away because, as her childhood friend Barry Powell recalls, "she hated the nuns". When she was 18, her father died from burns after his yacht had blown up.
Returning to London in 1963, Chelita Salvatori was taken up by the photographer Norman Parkinson, a family friend whose introductions helped launch her into the fluid 1960s society. Parkinson also introduced her to Harpers Bazaar, beginning a career in journalism during which she worked for IPC (as features editor for Woman), and as fashion editor of Nova. She also met and married the pop manager Tony Secunda. In 1966, when the designer Ossie Clark's collection combined blue and green, Secunda "dyed her hair blue to celebrate and became her PR". She joined Clark and Alice Pollock's venture, Quorum, as promoter of Clark's designs, and would work with Sir Mark Palmer in his model agency, English Boy. Soon Chelita was on phone number terms with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and was responsible for hiring such models as Amanda Lear. She pre-empted glam rock with her "mad rainbow eye make-up - green and orange, her cheeks highlighted in pink, and over that, reflective diamonds and sequins". In 1970 Chelita was engaged by Marc Bolan's wife June as PR for Bolan's group T. Rex. In 1972 Chelita made a cameo appearance in Bolan's film, Born to Boogie (1972), dressed as a nun. She was T.Rex' Mickey Finn's lover during the heyday of T.Rex, and like him she battled serious addiction to heroin for many years.
In 1979 Chelita left London for Trinidad with the intention of "escaping the smack stigma and setting up a small hotel," She did recover, attending Narcotics Anonymous; in 1988 she went to the Wiltshire clinic "Clouds", and kicked the habit. In the mid-1980s she became the London correspondent for the Parisian magazine City; and later performed the same role for the influential Japanese magazine Hanatsubaki. Derek Jarman gave her a part in his 1986 film Caravaggio (1986).
Chelita organized the Alternative Miss World competitions for Andrew Logan, who had known her since the early days. Logan's 1987 portrait shows her clad in a bright yellow turban, with a heart containing a portrait of her daughter, Tallulah. Chelita had only recently moved to Marrakesh, where she had been working single- handedly to open a hotel, an effort which may have brought on the heart attack that killed her. - Composer

Anyone living in France has necessarily seen or heard Bernard Dhéran, in a theater, in a movie house, on a DVD or on a TV screen. Didn't he interpret dozens and dozens of plays - plays he sometimes directed himself? Wasn't he in 112 films, TV movies or series? Didn't he dub scores of famous actors such as David Niven, Sean Connery, Christopher Plummer, Christopher Lee or IanMcKellen? And yet if you ask anyone in France whether they know the name of Bernard Dhéran you are very likely to get a negative answer. And yet his fine figure, his great presence, his male assertive voice, his elegance (including when he plays the villain of the piece) are unmistakable. Born Bernard Poulain in Dieppe in 1926, he was raised in Rouen and was fourteen when the Nazis invaded France. When time came for him to choose a career he did not know what to do exactly but he took drama classes on a fancy. Little by little passion was aroused and it would never relinquish its grip on Bernard, now Dhéran - to his (and our) delight. He debuted in "Hamlet" in 1946 and was accepted at the Conservatoire de Paris the following year where he won a second prize. First hired by the Renaud-Barrault company, he belonged to the Comédie Française for nearly thirty years. He acted in plays by Molière, Corneille, Mirbeau, Montherlant, Camus, Billetdoux, Poiret, among many many others. He was acclaimed recently in Laurent Baffie's hilarious play "Toc Toc". Solicited by the cinema industry, Bernard Dhéran did not say no but it wasn't long before disappointment set in. Three roles in movies by his master Sacha Guitry, Gina Lollobrigida's fiancé (no less!) in René Clair's "Les Belles de Nuit" (1952) and a good part in a good solidarity movie "Si tous les gars du monde" (1955) by Christian-Jaque but most of the (numerous) films he made during the 1950s were standard comedies or crime stories in which he was invariably the elegant cynical gangster, crook or other type of bad man. Sick and tired, Dhéran went on working for the theater and favored TV where he got much more rewarding parts. He could indeed switch from Buckingham to Richelieu to Beaumarchais, to Voltaire to Talleyrand! Whereas only two or three films he made for the cinema stand out: "La belle Américaine (1962), Le silencieux" (1972), "Ridicule" (1995). It was a pleasure to find him back in 2007 in one of Claude Berri's last films "Ensemble c'est tout", in which he was the picturesque father of colorful Laurent Stocker. Be that as it may, Bernard Dhéran is still active and passionate sixty-three years after he first appeared on a stage. An everyday dedication to his art that commands respect.- Additional Crew
