Beschreibung | Jeanne Moreau (French pronunciation: [ʒan mɔʁo]; 23 January 1928 – 31 July 2017) was a French actress, singer, screenwriter, director, and socialite. She made her theatrical debut in 1947, and established herself as one of the leading actresses of the Comédie-Française. Moreau began playing small roles in films in 1949, later achieving prominence with starring roles in Louis Malle's Elevator to the Gallows (1958), Michelangelo Antonioni's La Notte (1961), and François Truffaut's Jules et Jim (1962). Most prolific during the 1960s, Moreau continued to appear in films into her 80s. Orson Welles called her "the greatest actress in the world". |
What is amazing for a woman of my age is that I change as the world is changing-and changing very, very fast. I don't think my mother had that opportunity to change.
I think more and more people want to live alone. You can be a couple without being in each other's pockets. I don't see why you have to share the same bathroom.
Death is an absolute mystery. We are all vulnerable to it, it's what makes life interesting and suspenseful.
Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.
It's just as idiotic to say there is no life after death as it is to say there is one.
If you're extremely, painfully frightened of age, it shows.
To me age is a number, just a number. Who cares?
I need, absolutely, to be alone.
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.
I've never worried about age.
My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.
Knowing how to die is knowing how to live. What is death anyway? It's the outcome of life.
Beyond the beauty, the sex, the titillation, the surface, there is a human being. And that has to emerge.
I work more now because at this time of my life I am not disturbed from my aim by outside pressures such as family, passionate relationships, dealing with 'who am I?' - those complications when one is searching for one's self.
