She was the recipient of a César Award for Best Actress, a BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress and a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award for individual performances, and several lifetime awards. Moreau made her theatrical debut in 1947, and established herself as one of the leading actresses of the Comédie-Française. She began playing small roles in films in 1949 and eventually achieved prominence as the star of Lift to the Scaffold (1958), directed by Louis Malle and Jules et Jim (1962), directed by François Truffaut. She also worked with a number of other notable directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni La Notte and Beyond the Clouds, Orson Welles The Trial, Chimes at Midnight and The Immortal Story, Luis Buñuel Diary of a Chambermaid, Elia Kazan The Last Tycoon, Rainer Werner Fassbinder Querelle, Wim Wenders Until the End of the World, Carl Foreman Champion and The Victors, and Manoel de Oliveira Gebo et l'Ombre.

Most prolific during the 1960s, Moreau continued to appear in films until she died at her home in Paris on 31 July 2017 at the age of 89.
