Born in Paris in 1932, Anouk Aimee became one of the defining faces of European art cinema. Federico Fellini cast her in La Dolce Vita (1960) and again in 8 1/2 (1963), where her cool elegance played beautifully against Marcello Mastroianni. She then achieved worldwide stardom with Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman (1966), which won the Palme d'Or and brought her an Oscar nomination. She revisited the role decades later in Lelouch's sequels, sustaining a career of quiet, luminous authority across more than seventy films.
