Life

Duperey is the daughter of photographer Lucien Legras and his wife Ginette. At the age of eight, she lost her parents when they died from smoke inhalation in their own bathroom. From then on, Duperey was raised by her paternal grandmother and aunt, while her sister, who was only a few months old, came to live with her maternal grandparents. She later wrote down these traumatic experiences in Le Voile noir , a book that was illustrated with surviving works from her father.

During her acting training at the Cours Simon in Paris, she first played theater and worked as a model for fashion shoots for a living. She was on the cover of Vogue in September 1973 .

Duperey noticed Jean-Luc Godard , who gave her her first film role in Two or Three Things I Know About Her in 1966 . After that she played mostly in light French entertainment films. In 1968 she and the young Claude Jade adorned the adventure film The Avenger from the Coffin , based on the Count of Monte Christo , before she played one of Maurice Ronet's conquests in Oh, these women alongside Brigitte Bardot in 1969 . As a partner to Pierre Richards , she was noticed in 1970 in Alfred, the crackling pea and demonstrated comic talent in Just A Question of Time , but primarily she remained decorative beauty. Alain Resnais gave her in 1974 with Stavisky the chance to temporarily escape this image. Since then she has mostly been seen in mysterious roles. In 1975 Anny Duperey and Claude Jade enjoyed the nasty pleasure in a crime thriller about five women with murderous secrets, which a young author ( Jacques Weber ) discovered.

Her theater in 1996 in the play An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde . In recent years she has primarily and successfully worked as an author of sensitive novels and short stories.
