Catherine Deneuve is a force to withhold. Her beauty is something she has played with carefully and, especially in her early years, took advantage of to comment on the social implications of having such a stark beauty.

She didn’t become a victim to the stares of men or to society’s view of what she should be like, she rose above it to remark on it. At least she did, her later years have proved more difficult to discern.
