Yves Hyacinthe Deniaud was born in Paris, France on December 6, 1901. A type of the cheeky and grumbling Parisian, was one of the most familiar figures in French cinema, already speaking but not yet in color. And one of the most prolific: nearly a hundred feature films in twenty years, from “Drôle de drame” (1937) to “Nuits de Pigalle” (1958) via “Les Amants de Vérona” (1949) and “Si Versailles m'était conté” (1954).
His popularity also earned him the opportunity to play the leading role in comic films that were adapted into series, that of the "Leguignon" (Monsieur Leguignon lampiste, 1951, then “Leguignon guérisseur”, 1955), the "priests" (“Mon curé chez les riches”, 1952, then “Mon curé chez les pauvres”, 1956), and the "colonels" (“On déménage le colonel”, 1955, then “Le Colonel est de la revue”, 1956).
Ninety-five films and television appearances in total. He also wrote the commentary for a film short and sang two songs in the French TV series ‘Airs de France’ in 1958.
Yves Deniaud appeared in only one Euro-western: “Sérénade au Texas” (Texas Serenade) as Roderick in 1958.
