Yves Boisson, Claude Lelouch and Maven actress Christine Boisson has died at the age of 68.

Actress Christine Boisson died this Monday at the age of 68 in Paris due to lung disease. “She joined the stars and I want her to be remembered with gratitude because she was a graceful actress.” His daughter told AFP about it.

Debut in a cult film

Born in Salon-de-Provence in April 1956, Christine Boisson began modeling before being noticed by Just Jaeckin, a photographer at the time, who offered her her first role in Emmanuelle in 1974. After a few secondary roles, he was often limited to striptease. In 1976, he entered the Paris Conservatory of Dramatic Art. Determined to learn the profession of an actor, he preferred to devote himself to the theater.

Returning to cinema in 1980, she made a name for herself opposite Gérard Lanvin as the independent taxi driver Cora in Jacques Barlé’s Extérieur nuit. Avoiding the easy way out, Christine Boyson’s choices led her to rather dark and confidential films such as Female Identity (1981, Michelangelo Antonioni) and Rue barbare (1983, Gilles Behat), which won her the Romy Schneider Prize in 1984.

As the 90s progressed, Christine Boyson began shooting more and more regularly with established filmmakers, but with no guarantee of commercial success. Thus, he found himself in front of the cameras of Yves Boiss (1988, Radio corbeau), Claude Lelouch (1990, Il ago des jours… et des lunes) and Elie Chourak (1993, Les Marmottes).

Or even representatives of the modern new wave, such as Olivier Assayas (1993, Une nouvelle vie), Laetitia Masson (1999, Love me) or Jeanne Labrun on television. In 2007, actress director Maiven asked her for a role in Le Bal des actresses.

In 2010, Christine Boyson announced to the press that she was a victim of maternal incest and tried to end her life. Since then, he almost stopped working.
