Catherine Deneuve | Born 1943

 

Catherine Deneuve was the first ice blonde and has since established herself as one of France’s most admired actors, and it is no surprise. She has done over one hundred films in a career that has spanned 64 years and has become the personification of the frosty blonde beauty. She is still going strong at the age of 78 and has no plans to rest on her laurels soon.

Deneuve began her acting career in Les Collégiennes, but The Umbrellas of Cherbourg propelled Deneuve to a prominent degree. Aside from movies, Deneuve has also worked as a model, being a favorite of Yves Saint Laurent and becoming the face of Chanel No. 5 in the late 1970s. As a result, she quickly became the darling of the American press.
