  • Story Text: Jeanne Moreau, the quintessential French actress whose mother was an English cabaret club dancer, has died at 89.
    Moreau, a petite chain-smoker, worked with most of the world's top directors of the first few decades after World War Two, Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard and Wim Wenders among them.
    One of the highlights of a career that blossomed with the New Wave cinema of the '60s was Francois Truffaut's 'Jules and Jim', where Moreau stars as the lover of two men who fight for opposite sides in World War One.
    Another hit among dozens over the decades was 'Ascenseur pour l'Echafaud', or Elevator to the Gallows, directed by Louis Malle with a soundtrack of the same name by jazz artist Miles Davis.
