CULTURE 24.09.2026

French actress Marina Vlady, who appeared in more than 80 films and picked up a prize at the Cannes Film Festival in 1963, died on Thursday at the age of 88, her family told AFP.

Text size:

She died "at home, surrounded by her loved ones and her animals", her children said in a statement, in which they praised "a long and beautiful life, well lived".

Vlady worked with some of the greats of cinema, including French new wave director Jean-Luc Godard and Hollywood legend Orson Welles.

She won the best actress prize at Cannes in 1963 for her role in "The Conjugal Bed" -- for which she also won a Golden Globe.

In 1965 took a rare English-speaking role in Welles's Shakespearean drama "Chimes at Midnight".

The daughter of a former dancer and a former French army aviator who also sang at the opera, Vlady also found success in music with two albums recorded with her sisters.
