Yori Bertin

Yori Bertin is a French actress who left a distinctive mark on cinema, particularly between the late 1950s and early 1960s. She made her debut in 1956, but became most famous for her iconic role as Christiane Génessier in Georges Franju's horror masterpiece *Les Yeux sans visage* (1960).

In this and other films, Bertin often embodied female characters with an ethereal fragility and remarkable dramatic intensity, often tormented or victims of tragic circumstances. Among her other significant cinematic appearances are François Villiers' *L'eau vive* (1958) and Pierre Kast's *Le bel âge* (1960). Her ability to express vulnerability and profound sorrow made her an unforgettable face of French art-house cinema of that era.
