catherine deneuve - part i







Catherine Deneuve is in Sydney at the moment as a guest of the Alliance Francaise French Film Festival. It got me thinking about what an amazing woman she really is:




Because she is a mighty fine actress.
Because she stayed mostly away from Hollywood but still (perhaps because of it) had an exceptional career.
Because she was a peer with Brigitte Bardot but didn't let her style go to the dogs (no offence, Brigitte).
Because she was amazing in Dancer in the Dark and followed it up with something completely different: 8 Women.
Because she has wrinkles and looks better with them.
Because she was named the new face of L'Oreal at age 57.
