Anna Karina is a Danish-born French film actress who is best known for her work with Jean-Luc Godard in the 1960s. With her expressive, luminous eyes and radiant presence she had the looks of a silent movie star while simultaneously embodying the self-confident spirit of the 60's generation. Karina will forever be linked with Jean-Luc Godard...The perennially controversial and stubble-faced director, who laid eyes on the actress in a Palmolive commercial and cast her in his 1960 flick . Karina has written and directed films, taken on prominent stage roles (including in plays directed by Jacques Rivette and Ingmar Bergman), had a successful singing career, and has written four novels.
