Charles Boyer (August 28, 1899 Figeac-August 26, 1978 Phoenix) otherwise known as the last of the cinema's great lovers was a French actor, television producer and film producer. He had one child, Michael Charles Boyer.
Boyer began his acting career in France and gained international fame for his roles in Hollywood films throughout the 1930s and 1940s. He was known for his suave demeanor, sophisticated style and romantic leading-man roles in films such as "Algiers" (1938), "Gaslight" (1944) and "Love Affair" (1939). Boyer was nominated for four Academy Awards during his career, and received an honorary Oscar in 1943 for "his progressive cultural achievement in establishing the French Research Foundation in Los Angeles as a source of reference."
In addition to his acting career, Boyer also worked as a television and film producer, and made numerous appearances on television shows such as "The Red Skelton Hour" and "The Dick Powell Theatre." He continued to act in films and on stage throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and his last film role was in the 1976 film "Stavisky."
Despite his successful career, Boyer experienced personal tragedy when his wife, actress Pat Paterson, committed suicide in 1978. Just a few months later, Boyer himself took his own life at the age of 78. He was posthumously awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to the film industry.
