Catherine Deneuve (French pronunciation: [katʁin dəˈnœv], born 22 October 1943) is a French actress. She gained recognition for her portrayal of aloof and mysterious beauties in films such as Repulsion (1965) and Belle de jour (1967). Deneuve was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in 1993 for her performance in Indochine; she also won César Awards for that film and The Last Metro (1980). One of France's most renowned actresses, she has also appeared in seven English-language films, most notably the 1983 cult classic The Hunger. In 2008, she appeared in her 100th film, Un conte de Noël.
Deneuve was born Catherine Fabienne Dorléac in occupied Paris to French stage and screen actor Maurice Dorléac and actress Renée Deneuve (born 1912). Deneuve is the second of their three daughters. Her older sister was Françoise Dorléac (1942-1967) and her younger sister is Sylvie Dorléac (born 1946). They have a maternal half-sister, Danielle (born 1937). Deneuve attended Catholic schools.
As Catherine Dorléac, she made her film debut at age eleven in Les Collégiennes (1957), filmed in 1955 but not released until two years later. Deneuve subsequently began using her mother's surname professionally so she wouldn't be confused with her elder sister, Françoise Dorléac, who was using their father's name.

Plot: By a strange starry night, Catherine Deneuve is rushing to the Odeon theater, where she is to play a performance. As she is walking through the dark alleys of the Quartier Latin, first she is stolen her nice foulard by a mysterious black hand. Moving on, she encounters a strange wanderer, who keeps on joking with her. Being delayed, she gets upset and offers him money. The wanderer is deeply offended and warns her of secular hands robbing people for centuries. Then, he turns afraid and disappears. Later on, walking along the railings of the park Notre Dame, she is attacked by several black hands who grip her, strangle her and strip of her precious finery. But at the last moment, the wanderer runs to her aid and flees the attackers with his wooden hand. Finally, this so called Catherine Deneuve can get through the theater where she gives up even the dress to the sound of applause.
