Danièle Girard is a French actress primarily known for her prolific career in Italian genre cinema of the 1960s and 1970s. She particularly distinguished herself in *giallo* and *poliziotteschi* films, often portraying strong, independent, or enigmatic female figures, sometimes with a touch of sensuality or mystery.

Among her most significant roles are those in *giallo* masterpieces such as Antonio Margheriti's *La lama nel corpo* (1966) (*The Murder Clinic*), Sergio Martino's *Perché si uccide un killer* (1972), and *Il tuo vizio è una stanza chiusa e solo io ne ho la chiave* (1972) (*Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key*), films in which she masterfully embodied complex and ambiguous characters. She also left her mark in *poliziotteschi* films like *Il trucido e lo sbirro* (1976) (*The Cynic, the Rat and the Fist*). Girard became an iconic face for lovers of Italian cult cinema of that era, contributing with her intense presence to define the aesthetic of that period.
