Posted January 19, 200817 yr Some of you seem to especially love French women, so I hope that more than a handful know this beautiful girl Granted, she's a bit 'classic' now, being a bit more older than most of the up and coming girls here... but she has a very definite charm that, for me anyway, transcends time. She acts! She sings! She could have been a model! Anna Karina! Info: Born Hanna Karin Blarke Bayer, on September 22, 1940, Anna Karina is a Danish-born French film actress. As a rising fashion model, she was noticed by Jean-Luc Godard, then a film critic for Cahiers du cinéma. Her first film appearance, although unauthorized, dates from 1959, when a soap advertisement in which she appeared as a model was included near the end of Guy Debord's On the Passage of a Few Persons Through a Rather Brief Unity of Time. The image was accompanied by Debord's voice-over "The advertisements during intermissions are the truest reflection of an intermission from life." According to Godard's biographer, Colin Macabe, Godard was in the middle of casting his debut feature film, A bout de souffle, that same year when he saw Karina in a series of Palmolive ads in a bath covered in soapsuds. He offered her an important part in the film, which she turned down because of a nude scene. When Godard questioned her about her refusal, referring to the supposed nudity in the Palmolive ads, she is said to have replied "Are you mad? I was fully clothed in those ads — the soapsuds went up to my neck. It was in your mind that I was undressed." The character Godard had reserved for her did not appear in the film. However, she eventually accepted his offer to play a major role in Le Petit Soldat (1960). Godard and Karina married on 3 March 1961, during the shooting of Une femme est une femme, and divorced in 1967.Karina was awarded best actress at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961 for her interpretation of the character Angela in the film Une femme est une femme. Her acting career was not however limited to Godard's films, and she went on to a successful collaboration with other well-known directors. Her role in Suzanne Simonin, la Religieuse de Diderot (1967) by Jacques Rivette is considered by some as her best performance. She also acted in Luchino Visconti's L'Etranger. Other notable films include: George Cukor's "Justine" (1969), Tony Richardson's "Laughter in the Dark" (1969), Christian de Chalonge's "L'Alliance" (1970), Andre Delvaux's "Rendezvous a Bray" (1971), The Salzburg Connection (1972), Franco Brusati's "Bread and Chocolate" (1973) and Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "Chinese Roulette" (1976). In 1972 set up a production company named Raska for her 1973’s film directing debut Vivre Ensemble. In 1973 she made her directing debut in Vivre Ensemble in which she also acted. She wrote and acted in Last Song in 1987. More recently, she appeared in Haut, Bas, Fragile (1995) by Jacques Rivette and sang in The Truth About Charlie. She has also appeared on stage, in Rivette's adaptation of "La Religieuse", "Pour Lucrece", "Toi et Tes Nuages", Francoise Sagan's "Il Fait Beau Jour et Nuit" and Ingmar Bergman's "Apres La Répétition." Karina has also maintained an important singing career. At the beginning of the 1960s, she scored a major hit with "Sous le soleil exactement" and "Roller Girl", both songs taken from the musical comedy "Anna" by Serge Gainsbourg in which she sings seven songs alongside Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Brialy. More recently, she recorded an album entitled "Une histoire d'amour" with Philippe Katerine, which was followed up by a concert tour. Karina has also written three novels and made several appearances on television. In 2005 she released "Chansons de films", a collection of songs sung in movies. She is scheduled to write, direct and star in "Dame de Coeur", a musical road movie to be filmed in Montreal and Quebec. Starring Philippe Katerine and the young actor Woodson Louis; produce by Nadja Productions Inc.. After Godard, she was married thrice more: to scriptwriter-actor Pierre Fabre (1968-1973), actor-director Daniel Duval (1978-1981) and director Dennis Berry (1982- Present), ex-husband of Jean Seberg and son of American expatriate director John Berry.
