Iconic French-Jewish actress Anouk Aimee dead at 92

Born Francoise Dreyfus in 1932 in Paris, Aimee's life was significantly impacted by the German occupation during World War II. As the daughter of a Jewish father, her family was forced into hiding, and she was sent to the countryside under an assumed name to evade persecution. This traumatic experience forged her lifelong love for animals, who provided her with solace during those challenging times.
