Some of her English-speaking roles include 1969’s The April Fools with Jack Lemmon in 1969, Hustle in 1973 with Burt Reynolds, 1977’s March or Die with Gene Hackman and then in 1983’s cult classic, The Hunger, where she played a lesbian vampire alongside David Bowie and Susan Sarandon.
In 1972, Deneuve divorced David Bailey, a British photographer whom she met at a Playboy shoot and married in 1965 with wedding guests that included Rolling Stones’ frontman Mick Jagger. From 1970 to 1974, she was with the icon of Italian films, Marcello Mastroianni whom she had a daughter with in 1972.
In 1980–in a pairing that made magic happen for French cinema–Deneuve had an award-nominated performance in The Last Metro, with another prolific French actor, Gérard Depardieu, the first of 15 films the two would appear.
Speaking of Depardieu, Deneuve said the two have similar work habits, “We are both more instinctive actors. We like to arrive on set and work out what to do in the moment rather than rehearse beforehand.”
In the 1990s, Deneuve earned an Oscar nomination, and a César Award (the national film award in France), for her performance in the French period drama, Indochine. The 1992 film won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
