After some work as a model, the redhead with sparkling green eyes made her acting debut in the theatre but it is at the end of the 60’s that the actress will star in a succession of hits on the big screen. She soon became the most popular actress whose face was omnipresent in the media and known to all. Without cultivating excessive glamour or a distant star image, Marlène has nevertheless much charm and allure.
Her signature freckles dot her mischievous face which is framed by a short cut curly hair style which will remain virtually unchanged during the years of her greatest popularity. Her short feather cut hair is one of the 70’s key looks. Her make-up is fairly natural with an emphasis on her eyes, thin 70’s eyebrows, coral coloured lips and lots of cute freckles.
Marlène’s career slowly phases out from the big screen during the 80’s and she will branch out to television work and children’s literature. Her legacy to the world of cinema subsists in the person of her daughter, Eva Green, the glamorous dark femme fatale who now haunts the screens. AM x
