    Frank Duval was born in Berlin in 1940 as the son of an old Huguenot and artistic family. In 1952 he made his debut as a child actor at the Amerikahaus, and in 1954 he became an assistant director. From 1958 Duval appeared with his sister Maria as a pop duo. In 1963 he shone as Freddy in "My Fair Lady", the biggest musical success of the post-war period. As an actor, he appeared in the Heinz Erhardt film "Natürlich die Autofahrer", among others.

In 1968, Duval began making films himself and wrote songs for Peter Alexander, Maria Schell or Iwan Rebroff. His breakthrough as a TV composer came in 1977 with the music for the „Tatort" episode „Schüsse in der Schonzeit". Duval now wrote more than 200 pieces of music for the crime series "Derrick" and "Der Alte".
