Popular actor Pierre Richard (The Goat, The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 91st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Richard, a cultural icon

Richard's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Pierre hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Pierre Richard as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 91.
