Birth Name: Françoise Sorya Dreyfus

Height: 170 cm

She is the daughter of the actress Geneviève Sorya. In 1948 she played the part of Juliette in Les amants de Vérone (1949). In the following years (fifties and beginning sixties) she made various films (e.g. Les amants de Montparnasse (1958) and La dolce vita (1960)) but had only with Lola (1961) of Jacques Demy and Un homme et une femme (1966) of Claude Lelouch major success. With the latter she had the chance to establish herself in America but did not use this opportunity. Therefore she was only participating in second row productions in Europe and America. Show less «
