Biography
Lautner was born in Nice, France, the son of actress Renée Saint-Cyr and a Viennese aviator and jeweler.[2] Renée Saint-Cyr later appeared in eleven of Lautner's films.[2][3]
Lautner, at the age of seven, traveled to Paris when Saint-Cyr began her film career, and there he discovered cinema. Lautner eventually left school and landed jobs at French film studios.[2]
Lautner became a film director after serving in an assistant director apprenticeship.[2]
