About Annie Girardot

She often played strong-willed, independent, hard-working, and often lonely women, imbuing her characters with an earthiness and reality that endeared her to women undergoing similar daily struggles. After graduating from the Conservatoire de la rue Blanche in 1954 with two First Prizes in Modern and Classical Comedy, Girardot joined the Comédie Française, where she was a resident actor from 1954 to 1957. She won her first César Award for Best Actress portraying the title character in the drama Docteur Françoise Gailland (1976). That year she was awarded the Molière Award for this role, along with an Honorary Molière Award for her entire stage career.
