Catherine Deneuve (French IPA: [katʁin dəˈnœv], born 22 October 1943) is a French actress. She gained recognition for her portrayal of aloof, mysterious beauties in Repulsion (1965) and Belle de jour (1967). Deneuve won two César Awards for her performances in The Last Metro (1980) and Indochine (1992), for which she was also nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1993. Considered one of France`s most successful actresses,[1] she has appeared in only four American movies, most notably the 1983 cult classic The Hunger. In 2008, she appeared in her 100th film, Un conte de Noël. Deneuve made her film debut with a small role in Les Collégiennes (1957). She subsequently appeared in several films including under director Roger Vadim, starting with Vice and Virtue (1963). The film that brought her to stardom was Jacques Demy`s 1964 musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg, which led to additional prominent roles in Roman Polanski`s Repulsion (1965) and Luis Buñuel`s Belle de Jour (1967). In the Polanski film, Deneuve first portrayed the character archetype for which she would be nicknamed the "ice maiden", an emotionally distant and mysterious woman; her work for Buñuel would be her most famous.[3][4] Deneuve remained active in European films throughout the 1960s and 70s, but limited her appearances in American movies of the period to The April Fools (1969) with Jack Lemmon and Hustle (1975) with Burt Reynolds. Her significant films at the time included the musical Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (1967) with her sister Françoise Dorléac, and Tristana (1970) directed by Buñuel. She co-starred with a young Jodie Foster in Casotto (1977). In the 1980s, Deneuve`s most notable films were François Truffaut`s Le Dernier métro (1980), which garnered her the César Award for Best Actress, and Tony Scott`s cult classic The Hunger (1983), her third American film in which she starred as a bisexual vampire, co-starring with David Bowie and Susan Sarandon. Deneuve`s role in the latter film brought her a significant lesbian following.[5] Deneuve received an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the 1992 period piece Indochine opposite Vincent Perez. This performance also earned her a second César Award for Best Actress. Her other significant movies were André Téchiné`s Ma saison préférée (1993) and Les Voleurs (1995). In 1994 she was Vice President on the jury of the Cannes Film Festival.[6] In 1996, Deneuve joined the documentary L`Univers de Jacques Demy, to show tribute to the director who made the film that brought her to fame. In 1998, she won acclaim and the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival for her performance in Place Vendôme. In 1999 Deneuve appeared in five films, including: Est-Ouest, Le temps retrouvé, and Pola X. Her part in Lars von Trier`s musical drama Dancer in the Dark (2000) alongside Icelandic singer Björk was subject to considerable critical scrutiny. The film was selected for the Palme d`Or at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2001, Deneuve appeared in her fourth American film, The Musketeer. In 2002, she shared the Silver Bear Award for Best Ensemble Cast at the Berlin International Film Festival for her performance in 8 Women. In 2005, Deneuve published her diary A l`ombre de moi-meme ("In My Own Shadow", published in English as Close Up and Personal: The Private Diaries of Catherine Deneuve); in it she writes about her experiences shooting the films Indochine and Dancer in the Dark. In 2006, she headed the jury at the Venice Film Festival. She made another brief return to Hollywood with a guest-starring role on the FX TV series Nip/Tuck during its fourth season in November 2006. She also lent her voice to the Oscar-nominated animated feature Persepolis (2007). In 2008, she appeared in her 100th film, Un conte de Noël, which co-starred her daughter Chiara Mastroianni. That same year she was honored at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival for her work. Deneuve continues to work steadily making at least two or three films per year. Deneuve is considered designer Yves Saint Laurent`s muse; he dressed her in the films Belle de Jour, La Chamade, La Sirène du Mississippi, Liza, and The Hunger. Deneuve was the face of Chanel No. 5 in the 1970s and caused sales of the perfume to soar in the United States – so much so that the American press, captivated by her charm, nominated her as the world`s most elegant woman.[7] Her image was used to represent Marianne, the national symbol of France, from 1985 to 1989. In 1992, Deneuve became a model for Yves Saint Laurent`s skincare line. In 2001, she was chosen as the new face of L`Oréal Paris. In 2006, Deneuve became the third inspiration for the M•A•C Beauty Icon series. Deneuve and Make-up Art Cosmetics closely collaborated on the colour collection that became available at M•A•C locations worldwide in February 2006. In late 2007, Deneuve began appearing in the new Louis Vuitton luggag
