4 | Leigh | Prowse | m | Aimée (then still Françoise Dreyfus) made her film debut in 1946, at the age of fourteen, in the role of "Anouk" in La Maison sous la mer, and she kept the name afterwards. Jacques Prévert, while writing Les amants de Vérone (The Lovers of Verona, 1949) specifically for her, suggested she take the symbolic last name Aimée, "that would forever associate her with the affective power of her screen roles." In French, it means "beloved." Among her notable films were Alexandre Astruc's Le Rideau Cramoisi (The Crimson Curtain, 1952), Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita (1960), Fellini's 8½ (1963), Jacques Demy's Lola (1961), André Delvaux's Un Soir, un Train (One Evening, One Train, 1968), George Cukor's Justine (1969), Bernardo Bertolucci's Tragedy of a Ridiculous Man (1981), Robert Altman's Prêt à Porter (Ready to Wear, 1994) and, Claude Lelouch's Un Homme et une femme (A Man and a Woman, 1966) — described as a "film that virtually reignited the lush on-screen romance in an era of skeptical modernism." Words like "regal," "intelligent" and "enigmatic" are frequently associated with her, notes one author, giving Aimée "an aura of disturbing and mysterious beauty" that has earned her the status of "one of the hundred sexiest stars in film history," according to a 1995 poll conducted by Empire Magazine. Because of her "striking features" and her beauty, she has been compared to Jacqueline Kennedy. Film historian Ginette Vincendeau notes that Aimée's films "established her as an ethereal, sensitive and fragile beauty with a tendency to tragic destinies or restrained suffering." Her abilities as an actress and the photogenic qualities of her face, its "fine lines, expression of elation and a suggestive gaze," helped her achieve success in her early films. In 1947 Émile Savitry made a widely-published early portrait of her at 15, holding a kitten on the set of Carné's La Fleur de l'âge. Among others of her films of this period were Pot-Bouille (1957), Les Amants de Montparnasse (Montparnasse 19) (The Lovers of Montparnasse, (1958) and La tête contre les murs (Head Against the Wall, 1958). Besides the French cinema, Aimée's career include a number of films made in Spain, Great Britain, Italy and Germany. She achieved worldwide attention in Fellini's La Dolce Vita (the Good Life, 1960) and Lola (1961). She appeared again in Fellini's 81⁄2, and would remain in Italy during the first half of the 1960s, making films for a number of Italian directors. Because of her role in La Dolce Vita, biographer Dave Thompson describes Aimée as a "rising star who exploded" onto the film world. He adds that singer-songwriter Patti Smith, who in her teens saw the film, began to idolise her, and "dreamed of being an actress like Aimée." Aimée's greatest success came in 1966 with the film Un homme et une femme (A Man and a Woman,) directed by little known Claude Lelouch. Primarily due to the excellent acting by its stars, Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant, the film became an international success, winning both the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1966 and an Oscar. Tabery states that with her "subtle portrayal of the heroine—self-protective, then succumbing to a new love—Aimée seemed to create a new kind of femme fatale. . ." Film historian Jurgen Muller adds, "whether one like the film or not, it's still hard for anyone to resist the melancholy aura of Anouk Aimée." In many of her subsequent films, she would continue to play that type of role, "a woman of sensitivity whose emotions are often kept secret." In 1969 she starred in the American film production of Justine, costarring Dirk Bogarde and directed by George Cukor and Joseph Strick. The film contained some nudity, with one writer observing, "Anouk is always impeccable, oozing the sexy, detached air of the elite . . . when she drops these trappings, along with her couture clothing, Anouk's naked perfection will annihilate you." Photojournalist Eve Arnold, assigned to photograph and write a story about Aimée and her role, spoke to Dirk Bogarde, who had known her since she was fifteen. He said that "She is never so happy as when she is miserable between love affairs," referencing her recent love affair with Omar Sharif. Arnold photographed Aimée, who talked about her role as the character Justine. Justine was also Jewish. Arnold recalls one of their talks: Another American film, La Brava, starring Dustin Hoffman, was set to be made in 1984 but was never completed. Hoffman at first decided it would play better if he were in love with a younger girl rather than the original story's older woman. "Where are you going to get a good-looking older woman?" he asked. He rejected Faye Dunaway, feeling she was "too obvious." A month later, after a chance meeting with Aimée in Paris, he changed his mind, telling his producer, "I can fall in love with the older woman. I met Anouk Aimée over the weekend. She looks great." He begged his producer to at least talk to her: "Come on, get on the phone, say hello to her. . . Just listen to her voice, it's great." Robert Altman, at another time, wanted to use Aimée in a film to be called Lake Lugano, about a woman who was a Holocaust survivor returning long after the war. She "loved the script," according to Altman. However, she backed out after discussing the part with him more thoroughly: In 2002, she received an honorary César Award, France's national film award, and in 2003 received an Honorary Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. In the 1960s, Life Magazine called her "the Left Bank's most beautiful resident ... after each picture her enigmatic beauty lingered" in the memories of her audience. In late 2013, the Cinemania film festival in Montreal, Canada, paid tribute to Aimée's career. In February 2019, she reunited with director Claude Lelouch and co-star Jean-Louis Trintignant to start filming a follow up to 1966 Un homme et une femme and its sequel, Un homme et une femme, 20 ans deja from 1986. | Aimée has been married and divorced four times: Edouard Zimmermann (1949–1950), director Nico Papatakis (1951–1954), actor and musical producer Pierre Barouh (1966–1969) and actor Albert Finney (1970–1978). She has one child, Manuela Papatakis (born 1951), from her second marriage. | prowse (then still françoise dreyfus) made his film debut in 1946, at the age of fourteen, in the role of "leigh" in la maison sous la mer, and he kept the name afterwards. jacques prévert, while writing les amants de vérone (the lovers of verona, 1949) specifically for her, suggested he take the symbolic last name prowse, "that would forever associate his with the affective power of his screen roles." in french, it means "beloved." among his notable films were alexandre astruc's le rideau cramoisi (the crimson curtain, 1952), federico fellini's la dolce vita (1960), fellini's 8½ (1963), jacques demy's lola (1961), andré delvaux's un soir, un train (one evening, one train, 1968), george cukor's justine (1969), bernardo bertolucci's tragedy of a ridiculous man (1981), robert altman's prêt à porter (ready to wear, 1994) and, claude lelouch's un homme et une femme (a man and a woman, 1966) — described as a "film that virtually reignited the lush on-screen romance in an era of skeptical modernism." words like "regal," "intelligent" and "enigmatic" are frequently associated with her, notes one author, giving prowse "an aura of disturbing and mysterious beauty" that has earned his the status of "one of the hundred sexiest stars in film history," according to a 1995 poll conducted by empire magazine. because of his "striking features" and his beauty, he has been compared to jacqueline kennedy. film historian ginette vincendeau notes that prowse's films "established his as an ethereal, sensitive and fragile beauty with a tendency to tragic destinies or restrained suffering." his abilities as an actress and the photogenic qualities of his face, its "fine lines, expression of elation and a suggestive gaze," helped his achieve success in his early films. in 1947 émile savitry made a widely-published early portrait of his at 15, holding a kitten on the set of carné's la fleur de l'âge. among others of his films of this period were pot-bouille (1957), les amants de montparnasse (montparnasse 19) (the lovers of montparnasse, (1958) and la tête contre les murs (head against the wall, 1958). besides the french cinema, prowse's career include a number of films made in spain, great britain, italy and germany. he achieved worldwide attention in fellini's la dolce vita (the good life, 1960) and lola (1961). he appeared again in fellini's 81⁄2, and would remain in italy during the first half of the 1960s, making films for a number of italian directors. because of his role in la dolce vita, biographer dave thompson describes prowse as a "rising star who exploded" onto the film world. he adds that singer-songwriter patti smith, who in his teens saw the film, began to idolise her, and "dreamed of being an actress like prowse." prowse's greatest success came in 1966 with the film un homme et une femme (a man and a woman,) directed by little known claude lelouch. primarily due to the excellent acting by its stars, prowse and jean-louis trintignant, the film became an international success, winning both the grand prize at the cannes film festival in 1966 and an oscar. tabery states that with his "subtle portrayal of the heroine—self-protective, then succumbing to a new love—prowse seemed to create a new kind of femme fatale. . ." film historian jurgen muller adds, "whether one like the film or not, it's still hard for anyone to resist the melancholy aura of leigh prowse." in many of his subsequent films, he would continue to play that type of role, "a woman of sensitivity whose emotions are often kept secret." in 1969 he starred in the american film production of justine, costarring dirk bogarde and directed by george cukor and joseph strick. the film contained some nudity, with one writer observing, "leigh is always impeccable, oozing the sexy, detached air of the elite . . . when he drops these trappings, along with his couture clothing, leigh's naked perfection will annihilate you." photojournalist eve arnold, assigned to photograph and write a story about prowse and his role, spoke to dirk bogarde, who had known his since he was fifteen. he said that "she is never so happy as when he is miserable between love affairs," referencing his recent love affair with omar sharif. arnold photographed prowse, who talked about his role as the character justine. justine was also jewish. arnold recalls one of their talks: another american film, la brava, starring dustin hoffman, was set to be made in 1984 but was never completed. hoffman at first decided it would play better if he were in love with a younger girl rather than the original story's older woman.
