Catherine Deneuve's Human Design Chart

French actress as well as an occasional singer, model, and producer, considered one of the greatest European actresses. Internationally known as an exquisite blonde beauty, she gained recognition for her portrayal of icy, aloof, and mysterious beauties for various directors, including Jacques Demy, Luis Buñuel, François Truffaut, and Roman Polanski. A 14-time César Award nominee, she won for her performances in Truffaut’s Last Metro (1980) and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress in 1992 for her role in Indochine. She was born and raised in a French acting family. Her father acted in French films and dubbed American films into French and her mother left the acting profession after their first child was born. Deneuve was the third of four daughters. Her childhood in Paris was relatively happy. She was too young to remember WWII but remembers the food shortages after the war. At the age of eight, Deneuve’s mother contracted tuberculosis and moved to the French mountainside to recuperate under doctor’s orders. When Deneuve and her sisters were not told the reason for their mother’s leaving, the young girl suspected that her mother was never coming back home. Her happiest childhood memory was when her mother returned the following year. To this day, Deneuve never wants to be confronted with unexpected or unpleasant news. She followed her parent’s career path and at the age of 13 made her film debut in Les Collegiennes. At 18, she met Roger Vadim, the man responsible for making young Brigitte Bardot an international film goddess. Deneuve as well became his protégé and lived with Vadim from 1961 to 1964. She gave birth to their son, Christian in 1963. She left Vadim the following year and married British photographer David Bailey in 1965; they divorced in 1970. In 1971, Deneuve started a relationship with Italian actor, Marcello Mastroianni. Their daughter, Chiara-Charlotte was born in 1972. The paparazzi rented a room across from Deneuve at the clinic and covertly took photos of the actress and her newborn daughter. She developed health problems because she left the clinic two days after giving birth rather than remaining a full week due to the invasion of the paparazzi on her privacy. She won an invasion of privacy suit against French magazine, Paris-Match on July 1987 and was awarded damages of $16,000. Her relationship with Mastroianni ended in 1975 but they remained close friends, jointly raising their daughter. Deneuve’s first big film break was in Jacques Demy’s popular musical, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964) with further acclaim in surrealist Luis Bunuel’s Belle de Jour (1967). Her films also included Mayerling (1968), The April Fools (1969) and Francois Truffaut’s The Last Metro (1980). An exquisitely beautiful woman, she is often cast in cool, calm, self-assured roles. Her aloof and detached film image has been compared to the late Grace Kelly. Deneuve delivers the strongest impact when cast in probing, dramatic parts that show an inner turmoil. Deneuve is fiercely protective of her personal life. Independent, she does
