The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?Pierre Richard built a career on stumbling through scenes - the French comedian who turned clumsiness and distraction into an art form that made him, in the eyes of peers like Louis de Funès and Gérard Depardieu, one of the finest comic actors France has produced in half a century.

About this person
Born Pierre-Richard Maurice Charles Léopold Defays on 16 August 1934, he shed the long name for something shorter and made himself synonymous with the hapless dreamer, the man perpetually a half-step behind reality. The roles compounded into a singular screen persona: gentle, bewildered, endearing in disaster. Beyond acting, he directed films and occasionally sang, but the core stayed the same - that particular French strain of comedy where physical mishap meets melancholy, and the laugh comes with a sigh.
