“Today, French cinema has been orphaned. It has lost one of its legends,” Culture Minister Franck Riester tweeted. She developed a successful modelling career before being spotted by Godard while walking along the Champs-Elysees.They were already a couple when, at barely 21, she won best actress at the Berlin film festival for his “A Woman is a Woman” in 1961.
