Biography
French stage and film actress whose career spanned nearly forty years on the stage and in films during the silent film era.
By the end of the 19th century she became a stage actress in Paris, billing herself as Mademoiselle Bérangère. She garnered a degree of national recognition by posing for series of postcards which helped spread her image across France. In 1909, she was chosen by French film director Michel Carré to appear in her first screen role in La peur ("Fear") opposite Henri Desfontaines.
Following her appearance in La peur, Bérangère was placed under contract by brothers Emile and Charles Pathé for their film production company Pathé where she appeared in approximately twenty films between 1910 and 1913, including one of the first film portrayals of Cleopatra (Cléopâtre, 1910) and several films directed by Albert Capellani.
Jeanne Bérangère died in Paris on 19 November 1928, aged 64.
