Nicole Berger

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicole Berger (born Nicole Gouspeyre,[1] 12 June 1934[2] – 13 April 1967) was a French actress.[3]

Biography[edit]

Berger was born Nicole Gouspeyre on 12 June 1934 in Paris. She had a brief theatrical career, particularly in the Compagnie Barrault-Renaud, before starting in feature films. Claude Autant-Lara gave her her first actual opportunity in 1954, offering her one of the three leading roles in Le Blé en herbe. She went on to perform on film from 1956 to 1963, then had a two year gap during which she only appeared in one full-length film.[4] She then turned to television, playing the protagonist of the leading soap Cecilia.

Death[edit]

Berger died of injuries six days after a vehicular accident in Eure when she was thrown from a car that she was driving. Her passenger, French singer and actress Dany Dauberson, survived but never fully recovered emotionally or physically from the crash, which ended her career as a singer.[5] Berger's tomb is in the Père-Lachaise Cemetery in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.
