Lee Payant

Lee Payant (born 1924 in Seattle, Washington – died 14 December 1976 in Paris, France), was an actor and film director perhaps best known for voicing the title role of the 1960s TV serial "The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe" in English.

From 1949 until his death in 1976 he and his musical associate and life partner Gordon Heath ran a cafe and nightclub named L'Abbaye on the Rive Gauche in Paris. Here they both regularly played American and French folk, gospel and blues songs - being the only performers at the Abbaye. L'Abbaye was the namesake of their duet albums titled "Songs Of The Abbaye" (1954), "Encores From The Abbaye" (1955), and "An Evening at L'Abbaye" (1957) on the Elektra label. Payant died of cancer in Paris in 1976.
