Biography
Elegant, glamorous French model/actress Carole Bouquet was elevated
to international stardom in Luis Bunuel's That Obscure Object
of Desire (1977). As Conchita, the alluring focus of middle-aged
Fernando Rey's obsession, Carole was easily the film's prime attraction
- even though she shared the leading role with Angela Molina (it
was Bunuel's world, and Carole and Angela just lived in it). Ms.
Bouquet went on to play a "Bond girl" in the 1981 007 opus For
Your Eyes Only, and was prominent in the proceedings of the 1989
omnibus feature New York Stories. Though she prefers to work in
France, Carole Bouquet is occasionally compelled to seek out film
roles abroad.
