Family Info: François Truffaut was a French film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic, as well as one of the founders of Nouvelle Vague (French New Wave).
Truffaut’s mother was Janine de Montferrand. His mother’s future husband, Roland Truffaut, accepted him as an adopted son and gave him his surname. The identity of Truffaut’s biological father was unknown, though a private detective agency in 1968 revealed that their inquiry into the matter led to a Roland Levy, a Jewish dentist from Bayonne, France.
