Juliet Berto

Began her career with a bang, featuring in a series of films by Jean-Luc Godard, most notably "La Chinoise," "Week-end" (both 1967) and "Le Gai Savoir" (1968). Later films of note include Jacques Rivette's "Celine and Julie Go Boating" (1973), which she also co-wrote, and Alain Tanner's "The Middle of the World" (1974). Berto directed three features before dying from cancer one week before her 43rd birthday.
