Jeanne Moreau (French pronunciation: [Ê’an mɔˈÊo]; born 23 January 1928) is a French actress, screenwriter and director.

Moreau made her theatrical debut in 1947, and established herself as one of the leading actresses of the Comédie-Française. She began playing small roles in films in 1951 and over the following decade achieved success as the star of several popular films, including Elevator to the Gallows (1958), directed by Louis Malle. Jules et Jim (1962), directed by François Truffaut, was her most successful international film. Most prolific during the 1960s, Moreau continues to appear in films to the present day.

Acclaimed throughout her career, Moreau is the recipient of a César Award for Best Actress, a BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for individual performances, and several lifetime awards.

Early life

Moreau was born in Paris, the daughter of Katherine (née Buckley), a dancer who performed at the Folies Bergère, and Anatole-Désiré Moreau, a restaurateur.12 Moreau's father was French and her mother was English, a native of Lancashire, England and of part Irish descent.234 Moreau's father was Catholic and her mother, originally a Protestant , converted to Catholicism upon marriage.2 Moreau studied at the Conservatoire de Paris.

Career

In 1947, she made her theatrical debut at the Avignon Festival. By her twenties, Moreau was already one of leading stage actresses at the Comédie-Française.2 After 1951, she began appearing in films with small parts. By the late 1950s, after making many mainstream films, including several successes, she starred in Elevator to the Gallows (1958) with first-time director Louis Malle. After her sexy role in The Lovers (Les Amants, 1959), the media tagged her as 'The New Bardot'.

Largely thanks to those films, she went on to work with many of the best known New Wave and avant-garde directors.2 François Truffaut's explosive New Wave film Jules et Jim (1962), her biggest international success, is centred on her magnetic starring role, and is perhaps her most famous film.2 She has also worked with a number of other notable directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni (La notte and Beyond the Clouds), Orson Welles (Chimes at Midnight), Luis Buñuel (Diary of a Chambermaid), Elia Kazan (The Last Tycoon), Rainer Werner Fassbinder (Querelle), Wim Wenders (Until the End of the World), and by Carl Foreman (Champion).

Moreau has enjoyed success as a vocalist. She has released several albums and once performed with Frank Sinatra at Carnegie Hall.2 In addition to acting, Moreau has also worked behind the camera, as a writer, director and producer.2 Her blended accomplishments were the subject of a 1988 film profile, Calling The Shots, by Janis Cole and Holly Dale.

Personal life

Throughout her life, she has maintained friendships with prominent writers such as Jean Cocteau, Jean Genet, Henry Miller, and Marguerite Duras (an interview with Moreau is included in Duras's book Outside: Selected Writings).

She has been married three times, to Jean-Louis Richard (1949-1951), Teodoro Rubanis (1966-1967), and William Friedkin (1977-1979). Director Tony Richardson left his wife, Vanessa Redgrave, for her in 1967, but they never married.

She is a close friend of Sharon Stone, who presented a 1998 American Academy of Motion Pictures life tribute to Moreau. Orson Welles called her "the greatest actress in the world",5 and to this day she remains one of France's most accomplished actresses.
