BIOGRAPHY

Jeanne Moreau — early life, career, personal life, and legacy.

Early life

At age 20 in 1948, Jeanne Moreau became the youngest full-time member in the history of the Comédie-Française, performing in 27 plays over four years. She was born in Paris on January 23, 1928, to Anatole-Désiré Moreau, a restaurateur, and Katherine Buckley, an English dancer from Lancashire who performed at the Folies Bergère. She spent part of her childhood in her father’s Montmartre restaurant. She attended the Lycee Edgar Quinet and later studied at the Conservatoire national supérieur d’art dramatique. Her mother supported her acting ambitions, but her father opposed them; she kept her early work secret until a newspaper article revealed it, after which he threw her out of the house. They reconciled four years later when he fell ill, and she cared for him in the south of France for the last decade of his life.

Career

Jeanne Moreau’s film debut came in B-movie thrillers alongside Jean Gabin, but her breakout arrived in 1958 with Louis Malle’s Elevator to the Gallows and The Lovers. The latter, controversial for its erotic scenes, made her an international sex symbol. Malle insisted on naturalistic lighting, revealing what he called her essential qualities: she could be almost ugly and then ten seconds later incredibly attractive. In 1962 she starred as Catherine in François Truffaut’s Jules and Jim, a role critic Roger Ebert considered her most enduring. She worked with Orson Welles in Chimes at Midnight 1965, accepting payment in silver plates because of budget constraints. That same year she co-starred with Brigitte Bardot in Malle’s Viva Maria!, a major media event. Her directorial debut came with Lumiere 1976, which she also wrote and starred in. She won a BAFTA Award for Best Actress, the Cannes Film Festival Award for Best Actress, and multiple César Awards including an Honorary César. She presided over the Cannes Film Festival jury twice, in 1975 and 1995, the only actress to do so. In 2001 she became the first woman elected to the Académie des Beaux-Arts.

Personal life

Jeanne Moreau married director William Friedkin and, earlier, director Jean Louis Richard, with whom she had her only son, Jérôme, born in 1950. In August 1960, during the filming of Seven Days… Seven Nights, Jérôme was seriously injured in a car accident while driven by co-star Jean-Paul Belmondo; he survived and became a painter. She had an affair with director Louis Malle that ended in 1959, after which she corresponded with Ingmar Bergman, who developed a film project for her that was never made. Vanessa Redgrave named her as co-respondent in her 1967 divorce from Tony Richardson on grounds of adultery. A heavy cigarette smoker, she rarely attended premieres. Close friend Sharon Stone presented a 1998 lifetime tribute from the American Academy of Motion Pictures. In September 2003, she was robbed of $432,000 in cash and jewels by an intruder in her Paris apartment.

Legacy

Orson Welles called Jeanne Moreau the greatest actress in the world. In 1994, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held a major retrospective of her work, the only French actress to receive such an honor. Empire magazine ranked her #76 among the 100 Sexiest Stars in film history in 1995, and Premiere placed her performance in Jules and Jim 1962 at #80 on its 100 Greatest Performances list. She was the first French actress to appear on the cover of Time magazine in March 1965. A Paris cinema bears her name. Her influence extended to directing and singing; she had a substantial recording career and debuted as an opera director with Verdi’s Attila at the Opera National de Paris in 2001. She is remembered above all for her luminous, enigmatic portrayal of Catherine in Jules and Jim and for redefining French cinema’s approach to female performance.
