Catherine Deneuve

Deneuve made her film debut in 1957 at the age of 13 and first appeared in Jacques Demy’s 1964 musical “Cherbourg Umbrella”. She is known as one of the most famous French actresses of all-time.

She has been nominated fourteen times for the César Award and finally won for her role in The Last Metro in 1980.

She debuted as an actress at 12 years old in the 1964 musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Her most recent film credit was for Bonne Pomme in 2017. Her work in the movie industry was recognized as essential, and Catherine was appointed UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for the Safeguarding of Film Heritage from 1994 to 2003.
