Biography
Actress career
Born in İzmir to French parents in the diplomatic service, she left Turkey for France in 1951, and her acting career began soon thereafter.
She acted in multilingual cinema chiefly from 1951 to 1980, appearing in three Italian films directed by Federico Fellini, for whom she was a favorite performer and known as his muse. She took on a new dimension by embodying one of the symbols of Federico Fellini's sexual fantasies in La dolce vita (1960), Satyricon (1969), and Amarcord (1973), where she played Gradisca, provincial pin-up.
She acted in films directed by Costa Gavras, Jean Renoir and Jules Dassin. Despite a notable role in Z by Costa-Gavras, Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1969, and great successes at the theater, she subsequently received less attention from producers. She then returned successfully to the music hall.
