Christine Boisson died on Monday, October 21, in the French capital, leaving behind a rich film and theater legacy.
At the age of only 17, Boisson became famous for her role as Marie-Ange in the bold film “Emmanuelle” directed by Just Jaeckin from 1974. Her appearance in the controversial production brought her several minor film offers, which, however, did not satisfy Boisson – they were largely based on her physique. and her experiences with bold scenes.
Boisson decided to study acting at a prestigious French conservatory. From then on, she steadfastly refused roles in which the main casting factor was her physicality. Talent and courage paid off – over the course of her 40-year career, Boisson starred in over 50 films. The actress also worked in the theater.
In 2010, her personal life hit the headlines – according to French media reports, the actress allegedly tried to commit suicide. She was stopped by firefighters. She later admitted in one of the interviews that she never planned to jump, and “only threatened suicide during an argument with her then partner.”
