Biography
Claire Maurier (born Odette-Michelle-Suzanne Agramon; March 27, 1929) is a French actress who has appeared in more than 90 films since 1947. Maurier was born Odette-Michelle-Suzanne Agramon on March 27, 1929 in the French commune of CĂ©ret, in the PyrĂ©nĂ©es-Orientales region, which is in the southwest of France. She started her acting career in small film roles at the end of the 1940s. Her first 'main' role came when she portrayed Gilberte Doinel, the mother of the main character in François Truffaut's 1959 film The 400 Blows. Another notable early role of hers was as Christiane Colombey, the bigamist wife of the main character in the 1963 film La Cuisine au beurre. In 1978, she had a notable role in Ădouard Molinaro's film La Cage aux Folles as Simone. In 1981, she was nominated the CĂ©sar Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for A Bad Son. She played Madeleine, a seductive older woman. In 2001, she gained international recognition when she starred as Mme. Suzanne, the owner of the CafĂ© des 2 Moulins, the Montmartre bistro where the titular character AmĂ©lie Poulain works as a waitress in Jean-Pierre Jeunet's AmĂ©lie (Le Fabuleux Destin d'AmĂ©lie Poulain). The film became the highest-grossing French-language film released in the United States. The film won four CĂ©sar Awards, and was nominated for five Academy Awards. In 2005, she starred as Maryse Berthelot in the French comedy series Faites comme chez vous!. In 2010, she played the neglectful mother of GĂ©rard DĂ©pardieu's character Germain in Jean Becker's film My Afternoons with Margueritte.
