Françoise Dorléac was a French actress, best known for films, such as ‘That Man from Rio’ and ‘Where the Spies Are.’ Françoise was born to actor parents, Maurice Dorléac and Renée Simonot. Her younger sister Catherine too, went on to become a popular actress. Françoise was not keen on becoming an actress while growing up. When she was a teenager, a photographer spotted her and took some pictures of her. She was then offered a role in a film by a producer who saw her photographs and thus began her acting career. ‘The Wolves in the Sheepfold’ was released in 1960 as her debut feature film. In the next year, she appeared in several well-known films, such as ‘Tonight or Never,’ ‘All the Gold in the World,’ and ‘Adorable Liar.’ She was cast as a lead actor in the 1962 film ‘The Dance.’ She was catapulted to international stardom with the release of the film ‘That Man from Rio.’ She also appeared in the 1965 big-budget Hollywood production ‘Genghis Khan,’ which increased her popularity. In 1967, she appeared in her last film ‘Billion Dollar Brain’ before dying in an accident that took place on June 26, 1967.
