Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dorléac died in a car crash on the Nice airport road in 1967, just months before *The Young Girls of Rochefort* premiered—the film that should've made her a star.
She was the prettier sister, the wilder sister, the one who did her own stunts. Catherine inherited the career; Françoise inherited the cult.
