Biography:The mother of Euro screen icon Julie Delpy, Gallic actress Marie Pillet maintained a lower profile than her daughter (and thus never achieved Delpy's international crossover fame), but racked up a significant number of French supporting credits from the 1970s onward, and thus achieved some recognition and audience identification in her native country. For the most part, Pillet (unlike, say, Marie-France Pisier or Catherine Deneuve) seldom worked with top-tiered directors such as Truffaut and Chabrol, and instead collaborated with filmmakers whose fame was limited to France -- such as Claude Zidi, Jean-Loup Hubert, and Roger Planchon. Early credits included the 1977 L'Animal (as a trapeze artist), the 1979 La Dérobade (as a young woman sadistically abused by a pimp), and the 1988 Dandin (as a sorceress). Pillet accompanied her daughter onscreen with a bit role in Richard Linklater's Before Sunset... Full Biography
