Death of Micheline Presle at 101: French cinema loses its oldest. The one who toured with Alain Resnais, Jacques Demy and Claude Autant-Lara has more than 150 films.

"Infinite sadness. France is an orphan of its darling saint. At 101 years old, Micheline was beautiful, simple, lively, curious about everything, singing to delight, laughing, with a lively eye. Loving to love", reacted to AFP the former president of the Cannes Festival Gilles Jacob.
