Jeanne Moreau (born 23 January 1928) is a French actress, singer, screenwriter and director. She is the recipient of the Palme d’Or, the César Award for Best Actress, the BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress and the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival.

Moreau was born in Paris, the daughter of Katherine (née Warren), an English dancer, and Anatole-Désiré Moreau, a French doctor. She was brought up Roman Catholic and took her first communion at the age of five. She began attending the Conservatoire de Paris at age sixteen.

Moreau’s acting career began in 1947, with a small role in Jules Dassin’s film, Les Dernières Vacances (The Last Vacation). She appeared in several other films over the next few years, including a lead role in Louis Malle’s film, Les Amants (The Lovers), for which she won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Moreau’s first English-language film was Joseph Losey’s Eva (1962), in which she played a maid who is seduced by a wealthy man (played by Stanley Baker). She then appeared in Roger Vadim’s film, Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons, 1960), opposite Gérard Philipe.

Moreau’s other notable films include François Truffaut’s Jules et Jim (Jules and Jim, 1962), Orson Welles’s Chimes at Midnight (1965), Jacques Demy’s Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, 1964) and Luis Buñuel’s La Voie Lactée (The Milky Way, 1969).

Moreau has also appeared in several American films, including The Trial (1962), The Three Musketeers (1973), The Man Who Loved Women (1983) and The Hunger (1983).

Moreau has been married three times: to Jean-Louis Richard (1946-1949), William Friedkin (1982-1985) and Pierre Cardin (2008-present). She has one son, Jerome, from her relationship with Friedkin.

Moreau is fluent in French, English and Italian.

Quotes

#Quote
1(On Roger Vadim in a 1983 interview) He's very charming, but he was very nervous on the set because co-star Ferard Philipe (who died soon afterwards) was very ill.
2(On Burt Lancaster after filming "The Train") Before he can pick up an ashtray, he discusses the motivation for an hour or two. You want to say just pick up the ashtray and shut up! (In 1983 Moreau thinks her remarks were unfair to Lancaster.)
3(On Jean-Luc Godard in a 1983 interview) I asked for him as the director of "Eva." He signed the contract and was paid some money; he was supposed to deliver a first draft in four weeks time. He eventually sent it - in a one page letter! The producers screamed, 'Where did you get that crazy bum?' So, then I recommended Joe Losey
4(On Peter Brook in a 1983 interview) His approach is sometimes quite frightening because he reaches that part of you he wants to be sensitive - and it opens up incredible things.
5(On Ranier Werner Fassbinder in a 1984 interview) It was his ex-wife that told me he wanted me to be in the film. The picture was done in 24 days. Immediately, when I was on the set, I could feel his willpower. He was perfect in terms of creativity!
6(On Martin Ritt in 1983) That was a different experience for me. He would cover everything - closeups, medium shots, long shots, very few tracking shots. It took ages and ages to make a sequence, and I was used to working with people who did a sequence - and covered four pages - in one movement. So, I learned a new way of shooting.
7(On Michaelangelo Antonioni in 1983) He was a whole different experience. He doesn't speak at all to he actors. We filmed at night. I couldn't understand why we should be down on the set - but the result was good.
8(On Joseph Losey in 1983) I love the way he films; it's very personal, very brilliant.
9(On Luis Bunuel in 1983) I called him my Spanish father. He said, 'If you had been my daughter, I'd have tied you up and kept you behind bars.'
10(On Orson Welles in 1983) He transformed a town square in Spain into a Chinese marketplace. To me, that's what film is about - magic!
11[on Luis Bunuel]: I consider him my Spanish father, and I called him that. We met simply because of box-office considerations - he didn't know what actress he wanted for "Le Journal D'Une Femme De Chambre", and the producers offered me. We met in an apartment in St. Tropez and enjoyed so much being together that we also had dinner. He was a fantastic person.
12I do not think that for human beings the physical beauty is totally separated from inner beauty. Your mood shows on your face. That is something that comes from the inside. If you're in a good mood there is something different about your complexion, the light in your eyes, your mouth doesn't droop. There is energy coming out of you.
13I always have the impression that I am in the midst of becoming. Even if it's my death that's becoming. It's in process. It's not over.
14When I've finished with my movie career, I may not own any snack bars, but at least I will have made the movies I wanted to make.
15Whenever I have doubts about the reactions of a character, I find her a place in mythology.
16Lee Marvin is more male than anyone I have ever acted with. He is the greatest man's man I have ever met and that includes all the European stars I have worked with.
17If I get concerned with what kind of part I would like to play, I would then start to wonder what roles would be good for me, good for my career, pleasing for the public. Life does not invite this choice and neither should films.
18Sometimes the directors were afraid of what they brought out of me. Even if they changed later when they were aging, at the time we first met - and I was usually five or six years older than they were - they wanted to know about women. I was grateful, because I wanted to know about women, too.
19Each time I come to New York, it's like meeting again someone I love.
20One should never say, "When I was young . . . "
21Although for some people cinema means something superficial and glamorous, it is something else. I think it is the mirror of the world.
22Age does not automatically bring wisdom. It might bring you knowledge, but wisdom is not a cold cream that you rub in each night and then wake up smarter in the morning.
23Life is an accomplishment. Each moment has a meaning and you must use it. Life is given to you like a flat piece of land and everything has to be done. I hope that when I'm finished, my piece of land will be a beautiful garden.
24In making dinner for a friend, don't forget the love.
25They will write "Amant de Jules and Jim (1962)" on my gravestone when I go.
26[speaking in 1965] People who wanted to be nice about my looks always would say, "You remind me so much of Bette Davis". Very nice, except I can't stand Bette Davis.
27I was never interested in existentialism, because of [Jean-Paul Sartre's] famous phrase, "Hell is the others". For me, this is a crazy idea. For me, hell is one's self.
28I never come out of a film the same as I went in. Each time I discover new capacities for feelings and emotions I never knew I had.
29Love is like the soup, the first spoonfuls are too hot, the last ones too cold.
30You have to know cold to appreciate warmth.
31For me it's not possible to forget, and I don't understand people who, when the love is ended, can bury the other person in hatred or oblivion. For me, a man I have loved becomes a kind of brother.
32Passion is jealous. Passion goes up and down. Love is consistent. Fidelity, that's what love is about. Compassion, you give even more than you receive. That's what love is about. I'd hate to still be a victim of passion - I would think, God! I've lived all these years and I've learned nothing?
33When you live in terror and segregation you can't create art.
34Life is just a lot of interesting landscapes and one makes one's own geography.
35Like every human being I have everything in me - the best and the worst.
36One's soul is like a vast unexplored country.
37I'm not measured. I'm not lukewarm. It's not always easy to live with for me.
38Acting is transmitting life.
39If you don't give a damn, men look at you.
40To act is to move. It is that power to move that gives me real happiness.
41I never use the word "career", it's a journalistic term. I can't separate creation from life.
42I've always been ambitious, but not competitive.
43I'm a passionate woman who falls in love very easily.
44Making a film is like life aboard ship, except that every day is an emergency.
45Every night, I go over what I did in the day, in ethical or moral terms.
46I'm intelligent, but I'm not intellectual.
47Age does not protect you from love, but love, to some extent, protects you from age.
48I've never worried about age. If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows. Life doesn't end at 30. To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
49Everything I have I have wanted.
50I don't think success is harmful, as so many people say. Rather, I believe it indispensable to talent, if for nothing else than to increase the talent.
51The love, suffering, and happiness I experience in life appear in my movies, become an integral part of them. When I see a film after I've made it, I see my own life before me.
52I decided my glass would always be half full, never half empty.
53The public sees me too much as they see me in films where I'm always playing unorthodox characters.
54Movies influence people once you get successful, and people give importance through you to the characters you do. I refused parts showing aging women getting drunk and suicidal. I know it exists, but I refuse to give that image of women; it's not my task to show the worst side of what can happen to them. I want to be an upper, not a downer.
55We have so many words for states of the mind, and so few for states of the body.
56Making films is no longer a way of acting, it is a way of life.
57I am open to what is irrational. I open doors to intuition, because rationality is really death.
58While you work, while you create, you have doubts, and this is essential.
59I am a woman with absolutely no sense of nostalgia
60At the beginning of my career, I was seeking something traditional, strict; just to prove to my father that being an actress is not being a whore.
61Don't take care of yourself because you want to stop time. Do it for self-respect. It's an incredible gift, the energy of life. You don't have to be a wreck. You don't have to be sick. One's aim in life should be to die in good health. Just like a candle that burns out. The life you had is nothing. It is the life you have that is important. Some people are addicts. If they don't act, they don't exist.
62Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
63I've worked hard. I'm passionate and my world is cinema, acting, theater, creativity, art, painting, books, music, sculpture, landscapes, movements of people in the streets. Everything.
64While I'm doing the role, I'm the part. I'm the person. But once I'm finished I'm me.
