She is one of the most famous actresses in France and has been active in the film business for more than 60 years: On Catherine Deneuve’s 80th birthday, we look back at the life of the woman who made a career as a grande dame in Hollywood and has appeared in more than 140 feature films to date .
Catherine Deneuve – “La Reine Catherine”
If you were to describe Deneuve in just one word, it would be “changeable.” “Being an actress means being an instrument for someone else,” she once said – and knew how to make this happen. It wasn’t just star directors like Roman Polański, Luis Buñuel and François Truffaut who were at her feet over the course of her career – Deneuve was the muse of numerous artists, the face of Chanel for many years, an activist and, above all, campaigned for political and social justice women one. To this day, she still refers to her homeland as “La Reine Catherine”: Queen Katherina – and rightly so when you look back on the 80-year-old’s eventful life.
