Early life
Renée Faure was born Reneé Paule Nanine Faure on 4 November 1918 in Paris, France. Her father was René Faure, director of the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris.
A student of René Simon and André Brunot, Faure joined to the Comédie-Française, as a boarder on 1937, before being appointed member, on 1942. She then performed in major repertoire pieces, particularly excelling in the theater by Marivaux and Musset.
Career
In 1941, she made her film debut in L'Assassinat du père Noël , the first film produced by Continental Films, in which she plays the daughter of Harry Baur.
Her following performances confirmed her qualities as an interpreter, quickly passing from angelic roles Angels of Sin (1943) to those, otherwise more ambiguous, of passionate woman such as in François Villon (1945), Torrents (1947), and Bel Ami (1955). She quickly shared the bill with the stars of the time, playing three times with Jean Gabin (The President, 1961).
