Catherine Deneuve was born in 1943, in Paris, France.
She is a breathtakingly beautiful blond actress who for many years was France's top female screen star. Her icy manner was skillfully exploited by directors Roman Polanski (in 1965's Repulsion and Luis Buñuel (in 1967's Belle de Jour and 1970's Tristana, among others. She was equally effective in a pair of François Truffaut films, The Mississippi Mermaid (1968) and The Last Metro (1980). Deneuve also delivers lighter, more accessible performances as well: she was utterly charming, for example, in The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964), the film that brought her international recognition following several years of desultory screen appearances. Still a ravishing beauty, Deneuve has unfortunately limited her U.S. exposure in recent years to TV commercials and occasional films such as The Hunger (1983, in a surprisingly erotic role as a vampire) and Scene of the Crime (1986, a muddled psychological thriller). She earned her first Oscar nomination for Indochine (1992).
A free-spirited nonconformist, Deneuve has given birth out of wedlock to children fathered by former lovers Roger Vadim and Marcello Mastroianni. Her sister, Françoise Dorleac, was herself a talented actress whose career was cut short by a tragic car accident in 1967; they costarred in Jacques Demy's The Young Girls of Rochefort (1968).
