Anouk Aimée (born 27 April 1932) is a French film actress. Aimée has appeared in 70 films since 1947. She began her film career in 1947 at age 14. In 1958, she portrayed the tragic artist Jeanne Hébuterne in the film Les Amants de Montparnasse. She appeared in La Dolce Vita, 8½ and Jacques Demy's Lola.

She won the 1967 Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Drama and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the film that brought her international fame, A Man and a Woman. She was awarded the Award for Best Actress at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival for her performance in Marco Bellocchio's Salto nel vuoto (Leap Into The Void), her co-star Michel Piccoli winning the Best Actor Prize.

Personal life

She was born Françoise Sorya Dreyfus in Paris, France, the daughter of Jewish actor Henri Murray (né Dreyfus)^[1] and Geneviève Sorya (née Durand).

At age fourteen, Françoise Dreyfus played the role of "Anouk" in La Maison sous la mer, and she kept the name afterwards. After secondary studies in England, she studied dramatic art and dance with Andrée Bauer-Thérond. After playing in a film by Marcel Carné which was never released, La Fleur de l'âge, Anouk met Jacques Prévert, screenwriter for that film, who suggested that she take the last name Aimée.

Her second husband (1951–54) was film director Nikos Papatakis, with whom she has a daughter Manuela born in 1952. From 1970 to 1978, she was married to the British actor Albert Finney.
