1. – Annick Alane, Passe ton bac d’abord, France, 1979. Dominique Besnehard, one of the first French casting directors, suggested Renard for Sabine Haudepin’s mother. Arriving two hours late for their meeting, realisateur Maurice Pialat asked if she still managed to earn her living as a singer. Besnehard was more upset than Renard… who made 21 screen roles without having to work for the often thoroughly obnoxious (and always over-praised) auteur.
