Early life

Renée Faure was born Reneé Paule Nanine Faure on November 4, 1918 in Paris, France. Her father was René Faure, director of the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris.

A student of René Simon and André Brunot, Faure joined to the Comédie-Française, as a boarder on 1937, before being appointed member, on 1942. She then performed in major repertoire pieces, particularly excelling in the theater by Marivaux and Musset.

Career

In 1941, she made her film debut in L'Assassinat du père Noël , the first film produced by Continental Films, in which she plays the daughter of Harry Baur.

Her following performances confirmed her qualities as an interpreter, quickly passing from angelic roles Angels of Sin (1943) to those, otherwise more ambiguous, of passionate woman such as in François Villon (1945), Torrents (1947), and Bel Ami (1955). She quickly shared the bill with the stars of the time, playing three times with Jean Gabin (The President, 1961).

Faure was a jury member during the 1953 Cannes Film Festival.

She left the Comédie-Française on 1964. Almost immediately, on 1965, the institution paid homage to Faure by raising her to the rank of honorary member, which enabled her to return to play, twenty-two years later, the role of the first prioress, in Dialogue with the Carmelites by Georges Bernanos, in 1987.

The following decade saw the actress devote herself to television and the theater. Known to the general public through successful series such as Les Gens de Mogador or Maigret , the actress only appears from far and wide on the big screen, playing with her deep voice and her graceful demeanor in "The Judge and the Assassin", by Bertrand Tavernier, alongside Philippe Noiret and Michel Galabru. In 1988, Claude Miller distributed it in the role of the matriarch of "La Petite Voleuse" facing the young Charlotte Gainsbourg.

In the 1990s, Renée Faure slowed down her activity, nevertheless appearing in À la vitesse d'un cheval au galop (1992) and L'inconnu dans la maison (1992), remake of the film directed by Henri Decoin in 1941, the year of her film debut.

Personal life

Faure married French actor Renaud Mary, in which they had a child. She later divorced him and later married director Christian-Jaque, who he directed her film debut. The couple worked together in three more times together in: The Bellman (1945), La Chartreuse de Parme (1948) and Adorables Créatures (1952) before divorcing in 1953.

Death

Faure died on May 2, 2005 in Clamart, France at the age of 86.
