Jeanne Moreau (French IPA: [ʒan mɔ'ʀo]) (born 23 january 1928 in Paris, France) is a French actress, and director. Moreau was born in Paris, France to an English (dancer) mother and a French barman on January 23, 1928. She studied at the Conservatoire in Paris. In 1947, she made her theatre debut at the Avignon Festival. By her twenties, Moreau was already one of France's leading stage actresses at the Comédie-Française. After 1951 she began appearing in films with small or "bit" parts. By the late 1950s, after making many mainstream films, including several successes, she made Elevator to the Gallows with first-time director Louis Malle. Largely thanks to that film, she went on to work with many of the best known New Wave and avant garde directors. After 1959's sexy "Les Amants" (The Lovers) the media tagged her as "The New Bardot".
Moreau has showcased her unique films and has enjoyed success as a vocalist. She has released several album and once performed with Frank Sinatra at Carnegie Hall. In addition to acting, Moreau has also worked behind the camera, as a writer, director and producer. Throughout her life she has maintained friendships with prominent writers such as Jean Cocteau, Jean Genet, Henry Miller, and Marguerite Duras (an interview with Moreau is included in Duras's book Outside: Selected Writings).
