Her films included Male Hunt (1964), The Legend of Frenchie King (1971), Samuel Fuller’s Thieves After Dark (1984) and Alain Resnais’ I Want to Go Home (1989), for which she received a César nomination
She was presented with an honorary César in 2004. Honorary Cesar recipients include Christopher Nolan, David Fincher, Cate Blanchett, and Robert Redford.
