Geneviève Brunet

Still very active at the age of 74, Geneviève Brunet has had a long and prestigious career (spanning over 55 years) in the theatre, as an actress and a director (often jointly with her twin sister Odile Mallet). She even designed the settings and the costumes of several stage plays. After studying drama at the Conservatoire de Paris (with Odile of course), Geneviève debuted in the early fifties in Yougoslavia where she played Célimène in Molière's 'Le misanthrope'. She then became a member of the Théâtre Français company for one year and some time later of the famous Théâtre National Populaire led by Jean Vilar.
