Birth name Danièle Jacqueline Élisa Ciarlet
Nationality France
Birth 29 november 1943 (80 years) at Blida (Algerie)

Zouzou (born Danièle Ciarlet on November 29, 1943 in Blida, French Algeria) is a model, actress, singer and icon of the 1960s and early 1970s. She is known largely for her lead role in Éric Rohmer's Love in the Afternoon. Her career, however, was constantly hampered by her addiction to heroin and other drugs.

The screen name "Zouzou" reportedly stems from her zézaiement (lisp) of the consonants 's','j' and 'z'.

Her boyfriends during her years of fame included Brian Jones (of the Rolling Stones), Michel Taittinger, Dave Davies (of the Kinks), Jean-Paul Goude and Jack Nicholson.

Biography

Zouzou obtained her Baccalauréat at 14, then enrolled at the Artististic Training Centre of the Académie Charpentier.

The news magazine Paris Match baptised her "la twisteuse". She represented the liberated young woman, who was active during the protests of May 1968, as indeed Zouzou was.

She moved to Swinging London with Brian Jones, but left him and returned to Paris. Her fame soon eroded. In 1978, she left Paris for the Antilles where she remained for seven years. She returned to France in 1985.


Drug addiction
From the early 1970s she was addicted to a number of drugs, in particular heroin. This resulted in two short periods in Fleury-Mérogis prison, in 1992 and 1994.


Return
In 2002, Zouzou co-starred in the short film Signe d' hiver ("Sign of winter"), directed by Jean-Claude Moireau and also starring Marie Rousseau and Cyrille Thouvenin. In 2003, her autobiography, Jusqu' à l' aube ("Until dawn"), co-written with Olivier Nicklaus, was published by Flammarion. At the beginning of 2004, a retrospective of Zouzou was organized by Centre Georges Pompidou. In 2005, Zouzou appeared at the Sentier des Halles club in Paris.

Hélas pour François, l'ouvrier vers lequel il a été orienté, un nommé Claude, a d’autres préoccupations : sa femme Lily vient juste de quitter le foyer conjugal. François se montre alors moins soucieux de son article que de l'état moral de Claude. Il l'emmène en bordée : après lui avoir présenté son ami le boxeur Johnny Cask, les 3 hommes vont passer la soirée dans une réception chez des bourgeois en pleine passion prolétarienne et révolutionnaire. Claude n’ayant qu'une obsession, reconquérir Lily qui est retournée chez ses parents, le trio part à la campagne pour la retrouver. François déploie son talent de médiateur, et se montre vite optimiste sur la conclusion de l'entreprise. Les amis s'installent à l'hôtel dans le village voisin. Les jours passent, entre beuveries et discussions philosophiques. Claude fait le siège chez les parents de Lily. Johnny (de son vrai prénom Gaston) se maintient en forme pour remonter sur le ring.François écrit son article.

Frédéric (Bernard Verley), a young, successful lawyer, is happily married to Hélène (Françoise Verley), an English teacher, and father to one child with another on the way. Still, something eats away at him. While going through his day, Frédéric begins to ponder the times before he was married, when he was free to be with any woman he wanted and could feel the deep satisfaction of anticipation while he chased them. At one point in the film, he has an elaborate fantasy where he possesses a magical amulet that causes all women to bow to his will (the sequence features actresses from previous "Moral Tales"). These thoughts do not distress Frédéric though, as he sees these ideas as a reflection of how true his love to his wife is.
