. The actress Catherine Deneuve was born as Catherine Dorléac in Paris. She went down in film history as a chilly blonde.

She had her breakthrough with „Les parapluies de Cherbourg - Die Regenschirme von Cherbourg“ (63), it followed „Repulsion - Ekel“ (65) directed by a young Roman Polanski and „Belle de jour - Schöne des Tages“ (66).
