Biography:The stunningly beautiful French leading lady Francoise Dorleac was the daughter of film actor Maurice Dorleac. Possessed of razor-sharp comic timing, the tall, brunette Francoise was at her very best as the dimwitted heroine of the 1965 Jean-Paul Belmondo actioner "That Man From Rio", and as one-half of a singing sister act in "Young Girls of Rochefort" (1967) (the other half was Francoise's real-life sister Catherine Deneuve). Francoise Dorleac's thriving career came to an abrupt and tragic halt when the 25-year-old actress was killed in a car accident. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
