This lovely, docile, sensitive-appearing blonde French leading lady
started impressively in films at age 6, making a most notable debut in
René Clément's
Verbotene Spiele (1952). She
abandoned acting a few years later for schooling and a normal
upbringing. After a brief career as an interpreter and translator, she
returned to the cinema as a young adult and met with great award-worthy
success in mostly European movies, including
François Truffaut's
Der Mann, der die Frauen liebte (1977),
Einzigartige Chanel (1981), etc.
