Françoise Bertin (1925-2014) was a French actress, known for her long and prolific career, primarily in supporting roles. She often portrayed mature female figures: mothers, grandmothers, teachers, neighbors, or bourgeois women, characterized by a discreet elegance or a certain good-naturedness, sometimes with a touch of eccentricity.

Her filmography includes numerous significant French film productions. Among her most memorable roles are Cheval's wife in *Le Dîner de Cons* (1998), the elderly concierge in *Amélie* (2001), and the impeccable Mrs. Hermann in *Heartbreaker* (2010). Though rarely in lead roles, Bertin left a recognizable mark on the French cinematic landscape thanks to her versatility and her ability to add depth even to minor characters.
