Jacques Brunius, nom d'artiste de Jacques Henri Cottance, est un acteur, réalisateur, homme de radio et écrivain français, né à Paris le 16 septembre 1906, mort à Exeter (Angleterre) le 24 avril 1967. Si la mémoire retient surtout les personnages de l'homme au « bérait » de L'affaire est dans le sac, et celui du canotier entreprenant de Partie de campagne, Brunius fut plus que cela : proche de Jean Renoir, et des frères Jacques et Pierre Prévert, par là membre de la nébuleuse surréaliste qui se tenait à distance du groupe d'André Breton, et fréquentait plutôt la rue du Château puis le groupe Octobre. Il se rapproche du groupe « Contre-attaque » en 1935, puis entre dans le groupe surréaliste en janvier 1936. Il collabore à toutes les revues surréalistes, ne fût-ce que pour un seul numéro, et noue des liens d'amitié avec André Breton, liens qui ne se déferont qu'à la mort de ce dernier. Pendant la guerre, il est à Londres, journaliste membre de l'équipe des Français parlent aux Français à la BBC. Pour la RTF il traduisit en français la pièce radiophonique de Dylan Thomas, Au bois lacté, dont l'adaptation fut réalisée par Alain Trutat. Il était également ami de E. L. T. Mesens, membre du groupe surréaliste en Angleterre, rédigeant à propos des collages de son ami le texte Rencontres fortuites et concertées. Il publie en 1954 aux éditions Arcanes En marge du cinéma français un recueil d'articles sur le cinéma d'avant-garde en France, vu sous ses aspects poétique, technique, et sémiologique, avec des illustrations de Man Ray ou Denise Bellon. Il est le fondateur, avec Jean George Auriol, de La Revue du cinéma en 1928. Il a été l'éditeur des épisodes inédits de Vathek. On lui doit la reconnaissance du Facteur Cheval à Hauterives (Drôme) d'où sa famille était originaire : il fit paraître un article intitulé « Ferdinand Cheval, facteur, constructeur du Palais de l'Idéal » dans la revue belge Variétés en juin 1929, puis ses photos du Palais dans le numéro spécial Le Surréalisme en 1929. Il écrivit ensuite sur lui de nombreux articles (Cahiers d'art, Vu, etc.) et lui consacra son court métrage Violons d'Ingres, présenté à l'exposition universelle de New York en mai 1939. Il fut l'époux de Colette Hulmann, sœur de la photographe Denise Hulmann dite Denise Bellon, avec laquelle il a collaboré pour des reportages publiés dans divers journaux. Il fut ensuite l'époux de l'actrice anglaise Cecile Chevreau. Rémi Waterhouse, scénariste, dialoguiste, cinéaste et producteur qui a commencé sa carrière avec Yannick Bellon, est son petit-fils. Sa sœur, Simone Cottance, fut une collaboratrice d'Henri Langlois.

If people are laughing, all is well in the world. She has studied acting her whole life and graduated holding a BFA in Performing Arts. She's currently teaching acting to little ones at a theater in CT. When she's not chasing kids backstage, she's taking the leap into something just as scary: this crazy industry.
