The Resume

    (March 21, 1942-June 26, 1967)
    Born in Paris, France
    Sister of Catherine Deneuve
    Appeared in the films 'The Girl with the Golden Eyes' (1961), 'Tonight or Never' (1961), 'The Dance' (1962), 'That Man From Rio' (1964), 'The Soft Skin' (1964), 'Male Hunt' (1964), 'Genghis Khan' (1965), 'Where the Spies Are' (1965), 'Cul-de-Sac' (1966), 'The Young Girls of Rochefort' (1967) and 'Billion Dollar Brain' (1967)
    Died when her rented sports car overturned and caught fire

Why she might be annoying:

    She made her stage debut at age 10.
    She is better remembered as Deneuve's sister and for her tragic death than for her acting.
    She was rushing to the airport to avoid missing a flight at the time of her fatal accident.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She became a star before Deneuve, who was first cast in films because of Dorleac's success.
    Unlike the icy and remote Deneuve, she was known for her carefree joie de vivre.
    She has a nude scene in 'Cul-de-Sac.'
    She was burned so badly in the accident that police identified her based on her license, her diary and a fragment of her checkbook.
