Catherine Deneuve Smoking: The Unbreakable Bond of French Beauty with Cigarettes

It seems as if Catherine Deneuve always has a cigarette in her hand. After one cigarette has been smoked, another one is lit. Whenever someone questioned her habit, she stated, “I no longer inhale. It’s bad for your health.” She also enjoys gardening and keeps fit by spending time with her grandchildren.

I try to do what is right with my health, but that is the only thing I haven’t managed to give up yet. People say I should give up, which of course I should, but that’s not what I’d call advice. That’s a fact! Give me the advice to stop smoking without suffering; now that would be interesting.

French actress Catherine Deneuve is known for portraying cool blondes with hidden depths in the films of Europe’s greatest directors. Known for her iconic beauty and classical elegance, she is renowned around the world for her promotion of perfume and fashion and her career in acting. Deneuve met fashion photographer David Bailey while in London, and on August 19, 1965, they were married after a brief courtship. Despite affairs on both sides and a language barrier, their relationship ended in an amicable divorce in 1972.
