Simone Signoret

She made a career on playing loose women, often prostitutes, but even when not collecting money she played kept women where her love was illicitly sought.  As she got older she had a field day playing bourgeois wives and girlfriends.  No matter the film or role, her characters were earthy, wise, opinionated, sensuous and unbeatable as a woman in love.  And yet there was always that vulnerability that made them so damned real.  If one were to name France's greatest stars of all time, Simone Signoret's name would be among them.
