The End - the Classic Film Obituary thread 2017 [CLOSED]

Mireille Darc, one of France's most stylish performers, has passed away at the age of 79 following a long period of illness. Darc was a natural comedienne with a deft touch who worked with the filmmakers Roger Vadim, Michel Boisrond, Andre Cayatte, Jean-Luc Godard, Edouard Molinaro, Gerard Pires, Michel Audiard, Yves Robert and Jacques Deray. She also appeared in many films directed by Georges Lautner. Darc abandoned cinema in the late 1980s before entering television in the 1990s where she continued to work for the next two decades. An indelible image of Darc (as femme fatale Christine) in a daring low-cut black dress in the comic mystery 'The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe' (1972) has become one of the defining images in French cinema. She will be greatly missed.

Thanks for the movies and thanks for the laughter, Ms Darc.
