From his real name Jacques, Daniel Ivernel married the actress and playwright Christiane Lasquin. He is the older brother of director Victor Ivernel. Coming from a family of traders, he is raised by his grandmother, in the locality of Chaumont-en-Vexin (Oise). This is where he attends a performance of the "Bells of Corneville" by a troupe of traveling theater. Subjugated, the young boy spends the whole evening with these people of the trip and will tell later that, from this memory, was born his vocation. A theater actor with a perfect diction, Daniel Ivernel debuted at the cinema in 1946 in a film by Louis Cuny, "Le Beau voyage". But it was with the director Julien Duvivier who made him known with "Sous le Ciel de Paris". Duvivier will turn it in "La Fête à Henriette", "La Femme et le Pantin" and "Marie-Octobre". His last film "Judge Fayard" (Yves Boisset) dates from 1977. Then he took care of being a theater teacher until his suicide on November 11, 1999 at 79 years. Show less «
