PARIS – French actor, director and producer Claude Berri has been hospitalized in serious condition.
The Paris Hospital authority says 74-year-old Berri was hospitalized early Sunday at Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital and that his "neurological condition is very serious."
Berri acted in films by Claude Chabrol and others, then moved to writing, directing and producing.
He turned out movies like "Jean de Florette" in 1986, followed by "Manon des Sources," both adapted from Marcel Pagnol's vision of the French countryside. He directed the 1993 "Germinal," from Emile Zola's novel centered on 19th century mining life.
Among Berri's other productions were Roman Polanski's "Tess" in 1979.
Berri's 1965 short "Le Poulet" won an Oscar.
