  • Trivia
    Her grandparents and her mother were sent to Auschwitz; only her mother came back. This was a very important factor in her personal experience.
  • Quotes
    [on Delphine Seyrig] The French film establishment never forgave her for her outspokenness. If she had not been so beautiful, so aristocratic, it might not have been so bad. But the incongruity between their fantasy of her and what she was- a total feminist activist to the end of her life- they couldn't tolerate that. She was as much of a force in our lives as on the screen, and that's something very rare.
