Renée Dorléac, the French film star and mother of actors including Catherine Deneuve, Françoise Dorléac and Sylvie Dorléac, has died aged 109 in Paris, her family confirmed to Le Figaro.
Speaking a few months before her 102nd birthday in 2013, Dorléac told Le Point: “My old age is not sad.
While dubbing for MGM, she met the actor Maurice Dorléac and they married in 1940.
There is not a day where I don’t get a phone call or a visit from my children and grandchildren.”
