Biography

About

Mireille Darc was born on 15 May 1938 in France and built a career that stretched across acting, directing, photography, singing, and modeling. In 1967 she took the lead in Jean-Luc Godard's Weekend, the film that pushed narrative to its breaking point and became a landmark of the French New Wave. She worked often with Alain Delon, who became her longtime companion as well as co-star, their partnership defining a stretch of French cinema in the '60s and '70s. France named her a Knight of the Legion of Honour and Commander of the National Order of Merit. She died on 28 August 2017.
