French New Wave star Anna Karina, who served as a muse for Jean-Luc Godard and appeared in eight of his films, has died. She was 79.<\/p>\n
France\u2019s culture minister, Franck Reister, announced her death in a tweet, as did her agent, Laurent Balandras, who attributed the cause as cancer.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer gaze was the gaze of the New Wave. It will remain so forever,\u201d wrote Reister. \u201cShe magnetized the entire world. Today, French cinema is an orphan. It loses one of its legends.\u201d<\/p>\n
Karina\u2019s best known roles include \u201cThe Little Soldier,\u201d \u201cVivre sa vie,\u201d \u201cBand of Outsiders,\u201d \u201cPierrot le Fou,\u201d and \u201cAlphaville,\u201d all throughout the 1960s. She starred in \u201cA Woman Is a Woman,\u201d as well, in a performance that earned her the silver bear award for best actress at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961.<\/p>\n

Karina also worked with other directors of the New Wave, including Agnes Varda, Jacques Rivette, and Luchino Visconti. Her work continued through the \u201970s, including roles in Christian de Chalonge\u2019s \u201cThe Wedding Ring\u201d (1971), Andre Delvaux\u2019s Rendezvous at Bray (1971), \u201cThe Salzburg Connection\u201d (1972), and Franco Brusati\u2019s \u201cBread and Chocolate\u201d (1973). She made her directorial debut in 1972 with \u201cVivre ensemble.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Danish-French actress\u2019 relationship with Godard was reportedly tumultuous; they were married in 1961 and went on to make seven more feature films together, but divorced in 1965.<\/p>\n
In addition to her film work, Karina was also a style icon of the \u201960s, embodying the French girl look with sailor costumes, knee-high socks, plaid, and headwear like berets and boaters. She also had a well-regarded singing career, with hits like \u201cSous le Soleil Exactement\u201d and \u201cRoller Girl,\u201d written by Serge Gainsbourg.<\/p>\n

Karina was born Hanne Karine Bayer in Solbjerg, Denmark. After her father left shortly after her birth, she spent some of her childhood years with her grandparents and other in foster care, though she eventually returned to live with her mother. She dropped out of school at 14 and found work as a television model, and hitchhiked to Paris at age 17. There, she was discovered by a casting agent and went on to meet Coco Chanel during an Elle photo shoot. Chanel reportedly advised her to change her name.<\/p>\n
She met Godard when she was a teenager, after the then-film critic saw her in an ad for Palmolive and contacted her to appear in \u201cBreathless.\u201d The part didn\u2019t come to fruition as it required her to appear nude, which she objected to. He again sought her out for a role in \u201cLe Petit Soldat,\u201d which meant her mother had to fly to Paris to sign the contract, as Karina was a minor.<\/p>\n
Following her divorce from Godard, Karina married three more times, to French actors Pierre Fabre (1968-1974) and Daniel Duval (1978-1981), and to American director Dennis Berry (1982-1994).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
