César-nominated French actress Véronique Silver proved a prolific performer, appearing in nearly 100 film and television productions during a career that spanned six decades. Born Louise Isabelle Maria Puret, the imaginative girl gave herself a sleeker stage name before making her film debut in the historical dramedy "Royal Affairs in Versailles," which featured Oscar-winning actress Claudette Colbert. From there, she diligently built her filmography with supporting turns in feature films and TV movies. By the 1980s, she was earning roles in noteworthy features like the Oscar-nominated dramedy "Mon Oncle d'Amérique," which was helmed by French New Wave auteur Alain Resnais. Notably, though Silver fearlessly tackled a number of genres--from horror ("Don't Deliver Us From Evil"), to action ("Killing Time"), to drama ("A Whole Night")--she is best known as a comedian. Unquestionably, this is because of the beautiful brown-eyed brunette's unceasing joie de vivre. But despite her reputation for comedic turns, Silver is best regarded for her supporting role as Madame Odile Jouve in French New Wave director François Truffaut's lauded romantic tragedy "The Woman Next Door." Her efforts in the film earned Silver a César nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Sadly, this was the first and last honor she would garner. Just three years after appearing in the senior-citizen-centered comedy "Faut Que «a Danse!," Silver died, leaving behind a long legacy of laughter.
