Jeanne Moreau: L’immense actrice est décédée
Jeanne Moreau est une actrice, chanteuse et réalisatrice française, née

le 31 juillet 2017.
Son père était le gérant de la brasserie A La Cloche d'Or, au coin de
la rue Fontaine et de la Rue Mansart à Paris. Sa mère, Kathleen
Buckley, née à Blackpool, (Angleterre) et fille d'un marin-pêcheur,
était danseuse aux Folies Bergère et rejoindra plus tard la troupe de
Joséphine Baker.
Après avoir passé une partie de son enfance à Vichy, la comédienne
achève ses études secondaires à Paris et commence à suivre des cours
de théâtre. En 1946, elle entre au Conservatoire national supérieur
d'art dramatique de Paris.
En 1950, elle est repérée dans la pièce Les Caves du Vatican d’André Gide. En parallèle de sa
carrière au théâtre, Jeanne Moreau commence au cinéma en 1949 dans le film Dernier
