Lucien Sénémaud - what is he doing now


Where can you find info about what Lucien has been doing after this movie? Is he still alive? How come he was playing this role,and what does he do now?

Really liked this one, especially when you put it in the context of the homophobia that was much bigger during this time.

Lucien spent many years with Genet as his lover, but left him to get married to a woman. Don't know what happened after that.

Lucien, if he is alive, was said in the 90s to be still working in the garage business that Genet set up for him and called it ''Garage Saint-Genet''. Someone said he was greasy and worn by life. It seems he may not even realize that he is an icon for the ages.

The irony of life is that he apparently was heterosexual even while being Genet's lover...but Genet gave him that business as their relationship ended.
