Francoise Fabian (born 10 May, 1933) was unforgettable in the title role of
Eric Rohmer’s classic
Ma nuit chez Maud (1969) as the beautiful divorcee whose charms
Jean-Louis Trintignant struggles to resist. She made her debut in Pierre Foucaud’s
Memoires d’un flic (1955), but it wasn’t until the late 60’s that she made in a real impact in
Louis Malle’s
Le Voleur (1967) and Luis Bunuel’s
Belle de jour (1967). Subsequent highlights include the title role in
Madame Claude (1977) and
Claude Lelouch’s
Partir revenir (1984).
