Early career
In 1954 Jasmin left his hometown of Helena, MT to travel and pursue acting in Paris, Egypt, New York, Morocco and Los Angeles. He appears as an actor in Riot in Juvenile Prison (1959), Midnight Cowboy (1969) and later, Adaptation (2002). Together with actresses Virginia Gregg and Jeanette Nolan, Paul Jasmin provided the voice for Norman's mother in Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho (1960). The three voices were thoroughly mixed except for the last speech, which is all Gregg's.
After Jasmin's brief career as an actor the artist pursued painting and illustration. From 1965-1975 Jasmin illustrated fashion campaigns for the luxury brand, Valentino.
