Catherine Deneuve receives Lifetime Achievement Award in Mumbai
French cinema queen Catherine Deneuve said she was “pleased and touched” to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Mumbai Film Festival on Tuesday.
Deneuve, in celebration of her five decades of stardom, was presented the award by Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Indian industrialist Niraj Bajaj.
“It’s a very strong word, life achievement — it is a great honor. I am pleased and touched,” said the 70-year-old, wearing a red dress.
“It is nice to be here in India, which is so much the country for cinema as France is as well.”
Deneuve, often described as the “ice queen” of French cinema, has appeared in more than 100 films, working with acclaimed directors such as Francois Truffaut and Luis Bunuel.
The actress came to prominence in the 1964 musical film “Les Parapluies de Cherbourg” (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and went on to win two Cesar Awards for Best Actress and one Academy Award nomination for her role in “Indochine” in 2000.

If that is a shot at me (which I am sure it is) you are wrong! I was known as the Dragon Lady and the Queen Bitch but not the Ice Queen to the best of my knowledge! 🙁 I am a very sweet and patriotic law abiding citizen of this Country damn it!! Many of us can perform better than we do. I just push them to actually try harder. Is that such a crime?? Thanks a bunch for the lovely comment! Have a great night! 🙂
Just because my ex-fiancé sent me this youtube video does not mean that I am an Ice Queen!! 🙁

Nothing to do with you. Relax
I’ve often wondered where the moniker “ice queen” originated. I had a few female coworkers who were ordained with that term.
