Catherine Deneuve (Contributor)
Born: October 22, 1943 in Paris
Best Known For: Her long film career.
Early-life: Catherine Fabienne Dorléac was born in Paris on October 22, 1943. Her parents - Maurice Dorleac and Renee Deneuve - were both actors. She's the third of their four daughters. Two of her sisters, Francoise (who was killed in a car crash in 1967) and Sylvie, also became actresses. She adopted her mother's maiden name when she began appearing in movies as a teenager.
Career: Deneuve's first film was 1957's Les Collegiennes, but she didn't become a major star until 1964's The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Cult classics such as Roman Polanski's Repulsion (1965), Louis Bunuel's surrealist masterpiece Belle de Jour (1967) and vampire thriller The Hunger (1983) made her globally famous. She won Cesar awards (France's version of the Oscar) for her performances in 1981's Le Dernier Metro and 1992's Indochine. She also received an Academy Award nomination for the latter. She continues to make films and always has a number of projects in the pipeline.
Quote: 'I hate nudity in cinema. For me, the most beautiful love scenes are the ones that leave something to the imagination.'
Trivia: Away from showbusiness, Deneuve is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
Jerry Hall (Contributor)
Born: July 02, 1956 in Gonzalez, Texas
Best Known For: Being Mick Jagger's ex-wife.
Early-life: Born Jerry Faye Hall on July 2, 1956, in Gonzalez, Texas. She has four sisters, including her twin, Terry Jaye. They were raised in Mesquite by their mother and abusive, alcoholic father who would regularly return home and terrorise the family. 'I lived in fear of him most of my childhood,' she now says. At 16 she left home to pursue a modelling career in Paris, taking with her only a suitcase of clothes made by her mum.
Career: Hall soon made her mark on the catwalk and magazine covers, earning thousands of dollars a week. She became the face of Yves Saint Laurent perfume and Revlon cosmetics, and appeared on a Roxy Music album cover. She made her film debut in 1980's Urban Cowboy. During the late-1980s she largely put her modelling career to one side to concentrate on acting. Since then she's appeared in Batman, Cluedo, and reality series Kept. She has also appeared on stage in The Graduate, and holds the record for the most theatrical appearances in one night, having cropped up in Anything Goes, Blood Brothers, Fame, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Les Miserables, and Phantom of the Opera on February 26, 2004. In 2012, she partnered professional dancer Anton du Beke on Strictly Come Dancing. She was the second celebrity to be eliminated.
Quote: 'The more flesh you show, the higher up the ladder you go.'
Trivia: In 2010, she published her autobiography, Jerry Hall: My Life in Pictures.
