in the life of Catherine Deneuve remains as a mystery to fans and reporters, as in the movies. The details of her novels so far little is known. However, the history of relations with frantszskim Lovelace Roger Vadim, who discovered the name Deneuve world, thanks to the efforts of journalists long ago became a byword.

When they met, the actress was seventeen, and her name was not Deneuve, and Dorléac. Its fate Roger Vadim played the role of Pygmalion. He introduced her to the world "sweet life" known directors, has taught the basics of acting, and transformed it from a brunette to a blonde Katherine Dorléac Catherine Deneuve.

Roger Vadim passionately and tenderly loved his muse. Over time, they had a son Christian, but family relationships and did not work out as not developed and co-creation. The film "vice and virtue" with Deneuve in the title role, was a success, but he was disappointed Vadim its new partner, especially as an actress.

Much later, after Deneuve went to the photographer David Bailey and announced the decision to become engaged, Roger wrote her a letter: "I'm sorry, that did not realize how valuable you are to me."

He was not destined to open Deneuve in all the splendor of her talent. His first and perhaps the best role she played in the film by Jacques Demy - The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. " The brilliant music of Michel Legrand and the penetration of game actors - have made this picture a classic of world cinema.

The tremendous success waiting Deneuve and in another movie Demi - "The Young Girls of Rochefort." Actors wanted to take another picture - "Anna Karenina" with Catherine in the title role - but between an actress and stage director at the time ran over a cat, and the project closed.

Many people with whom the actress had to play in the movie, rumored to become her lover. Among them - Gerard Depardieu, Alain Delon, Jean-Paul Belmondo. But the real passion was in her relationship with Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni. This novel is finally brought much suffering to both.

They first met in 1970 on the set of pictures of Nadine Trintignant "This happens only with the other. The first meeting is not made on Mastroianni impression. "Professional Beauty" - said he was then twenty-seven of the actress. While the actor seriously worried break with Faye Dunaway. As it turned out, she, too, Deneuve was in a position to match his own, parting with the director François Truffaut.

Relationships Deneuve and Mastroianni changed during the shooting of one of the episodes, which were supposed to play a couple who lost a child. To the actors could feel the despair of his characters, director Nadine Trintignant left them for a few days in semi-darkness of an empty apartment with almost no furniture, no phone, no books, no television, and with scarce food. This "conclusion" is ultimately a positive impact not only on the set, but also on relations actors.

Their affair lasted several years. All this time, Mastroianni tossed between Paris and Rome, where his wife lived. He has repeatedly Kathryn proposal, but she did not want to destroy his family.

"Every day I bought a bouquet of flowers, - told Mastroianni - still no - daisies, daffodils, asters, and, tearing off the petals, wondered: love - not love." Passers-by on the streets of Rome, seeing their idol in this state, stopped in astonishment. Meanwhile, Catherine, who was called the complete opposite Marcello often been cold to him.

Birth of daughter Chiara did not change anything in the relationship pairs: Deneuve still refused to marry Mastroianni, who had already divorced. After another rejection, he phoned his wife: "Flora, she refused me!" And this despite the fact that you are allowed, I want to die! ".

As a result, Marcello was forced to return to his family in Italy, and Catherine both one and two children. To see my daughter, Mastroianni often came to Paris and spend hours watching her on the street.

Chiara-Charlotte Mastroianni continued the family tradition, as her brother - Christian. She even co-starred with his mother in the film by Claude Lelouch "Only two of us."

Today Deneuve is still no shortage of interesting directorial suggestions. Most French people consider it the best Marianne - the national symbol of France. In their view, the actress embodies the eternal feminine ideal, as Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren.

Meanwhile, Deneuve says she had never considered herself beautiful. "I know that others see me as such, but of herself in these terms I do not think so I think that there are good-looking, but not always."

On bygone young actress also tries not to think about and try to enjoy every day, surprising his fans with new images. "I like perfection in everything - in film and in life. So I always want to redo everything. Sometimes I think that at the very last day of my life, when it will have to leave forever, suddenly I shall shout:" No, wait! I am not yet ready. Only now I realized that everything must start over and build their lives differently. And all that happened before, no more than a dress rehearsal ".
