Delphine Seyrig (1932-1990) was an iconic French actress, celebrated for her sophisticated elegance and enigmatic screen presence.

Her film career began with the unforgettable role of the mysterious woman in Alain Resnais's *L'année dernière à Marienbad* (1961), which established her as a muse of art-house cinema. She collaborated with great directors such as Luis Buñuel, shining in the surrealist *Le charme discret de la bourgeoisie* (1972), and François Truffaut in *Baisers volés* (1968).

Seyrig distinguished herself in roles of intellectual, complex, and often melancholic women, as in Marguerite Duras's *India Song* (1975). Her most emblematic performance, a symbol of feminist cinema, was in Chantal Akerman's *Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles* (1975), where her measured acting revealed extraordinary depth. Her refined style and her ability to embody female complexity made her an indelible figure of European cinema.
