As early as 1950, she had been in front of the camera for the first time for André Hunebelle's film The Galante Adventurer ( Méfiez-vous des blondes ).

Directed by Francis Girod , she played the wife of the French President ( Jean-Louis Trintignant ) in the literary film Le bon Plaisir - A political love affair ( Le Bon plaisir , 1984). In the same year it was also used in Bertrand Tavernier's A Sunday in the Country ( Un dimanche à la campagne , 1984).

In 1987 she was the first woman to be appointed doyen of the Comédie-Française. In 1988 she was temporarily the administrative director of the theater, which she left that same year. She was then an honorary member of the Comédie-Française. She also worked as a voice actress in France. She lent her voice to Susi in Disney's Susi und Tramp ( Lady and the Tramp , 1955) as well as Yvonne De Carlo in The Ten Commandments ( The Ten Commandments , 1956) and Elizabeth Taylor in Suddenly Last Summer ( Suddenly, Last Summer , 1959) and Cleopatra (1963).
