Anouk Aimee was born in 1932 as daughter of the actress Geneviève Sorya. At the age of 16 (in 1948) she played the part of Juliette in Amants de Vérone, Les (1949). In the following years (fifties and beginning sixties) she made various films (e.g. Amants de Montparnasse (Montparnasse 19), Les (1958) and Dolce vita, La (1960)) but had only with Lola (1961) of Jacques Demy and Un homme et une femme (1966) of Claude Lelouch major success. With the latter she had the chance to establish herself in America but did not use this opportunity. Therefore she was only participating in second row productions in Europe and America.

Born into a theatrical family, Anouk Aimee was trained in acting and dancing at the Bauer-Therond school. In films from the age of 14, Ms. Aimee (usually billed merely as Anouk) was elevated to international stardom in 1949's "Lovers of Verona", specifically written for her by Jacques Prevert. Possessed of an aloof, haunting beauty, Anouk has given her best performances under the knowing direction of such European masters as Federico Fellini ("La Dolce Vita", "8 1/2") and Jacques Demy ("Lola", "The Model Shop"). She has ... worked extensively in English language films; she did her bit for the Resistance in Anatole Litvak's "The Journey" (1959), essayed the title role in George Cukor's "Justine" (1969), and portrayed the worldly-wise Simone Lowenthal in Robert Altman's "Ready to Wear" (1994).
