by François Chalais with Jacques Tati
She also led, in her younger years, a more personal fight against Henry Fonda, her father.
The actor has never played, in real life loving fathers, quite the contrary.
He was resolutely distant.
Thus, the day when his daughter dares to speak to him about her dreams for the future, he replies in an icy tone that she is far too fat to become a film actress.
She did not forget this injury when, in 1963, when she answered questions from François Chalais.
She expresses herself in almost perfect French, the subtleties of which she learned while spending two years in Paris to study in the art world.
That year, she was particularly discreet on the Croisette.
She will be much more expansive, when she returns to defend her political commitments rather than her screen roles.
With an energy that is already looming in 1963, in front of the camera of François Chalais.
