Biography: French actor Pierre Cl�menti made his film debut in Luchino Visconti's Il Gatopardo (The Leopard) (1963). Dark, slender, and handsome, Cl�menti is frequently cast as a cruel, volatile, or decadent character. Before entering films, he had extensive experience on the Paris stage. Though he appeared in two more films during the early to mid-'60s, it was not until he starred in Luis Bu�uel's Belle de Jour (1967) that the actor gained international fame. Cl�menti subsequently appeared in many European productions. In 1972, his career was derailed after he was sentenced to prison for allegedly possessing or using drugs. Due to insufficient evidence, Cl�menti was released after 17 months; later he penned a book about his time in prison. Throughout his career, he continued to be active on-stage; he was also involved with the French underground film movement. In 1976, Cl�menti made his directorial debut with Visa de Censure. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
