French actress Mylène Demongeot (Fantômas, Camping…) died at the age of 87

We are in 1957. The French public meets a young actress from Nice. Aged 21, Mylène Demongeot stands out for her acting in the Franco-German film (from the east) The Witches of Salem. She and two other main roles, namely Simone Signoret and Yves Montand will receive the interpretation prize at the Karlovy Vary festival. The following year, the actress will be nominated at the BAFTA ceremony in London.

The actress will then begin an international career. We see her in dramatic roles (Hello Sadnessby Otto Preminger, in 1958; The boysin 1959…), peplums (The Battle of Marathonin 1959)…
