Oscar-Nominated French Actor Aimée Dies Aged 92

Aimée received an Academy Award nomination for her role in Claude Lelouch's A Man and a Woman, which was released in 1966. That same decade, Aimée appeared in films by esteemed filmmakers Federico Fellini – La Dolce Vita (1960), 8½ (1963) – and Jacques Demy (Lola, 1961).

Aimée’s death was announced by her daughter, Manuela Papatakis, who wrote on Instagram: “With my daughter, Galaad, and my granddaughter, Mila, we have great sadness to announce the departure of my mother Anouk Aimée. I was right by her side when she passed away this morning at her home in Paris.”

Born Nicole Françoise Florence Dreyfus, Aimée was born in Paris to the actors Henri Murray and Geneviève Sorya. Though Aimée’s father was Jewish, she was raised a Roman Catholic by her mother and converted to Judaism as an adult.
