She appeared in over 250 films and worked with directors such as Marcel Carné, Jean Renoir, Max Ophüls ( Le Plaisir 1952 and Lola Montès , 1955) and François Truffaut. Her best-known role is as Lisette in Renoir's The Rules of the Game (La règle du jeu, 1939). Originally intended to be a small role offering only a couple of days' work, the extent of her part grew during the four-month shooting schedule. [1]
