## Biography

Lionel Salem was a French actor. Born Léon Salem in Salonique in the Ottoman Empire on 17 April 1883, he later worked as a commissionnaire-exportateur in luxury hosiery before entering the film industry.

He appeared in a number of French films during the 1920s and 1930s, including *La Fille de l'eau* (1924) directed by Jean Renoir, several films by Julien Duvivier and others, and as the Duke of Blangis in Luis Buñuel's *L'Âge d'or* (1930). A Freemason, he was arrested under Vichy anti-Jewish laws, interned at Drancy, and deported to Auschwitz, where he died on 3 October 1942.
