My memory of her is in Diary of a chambermaid.( Journal d’une femme de chamber)2015, which I saw at the Jerusalem Cinemateque. Watching her at work, running at every beck and call of her mistress, silent and uncomplaining, never overdoing her enthusiasm to be obedient. She does a brilliant job of portraying the perfect chambermaid. She never appears proud, knows the intimate secrets of her mistress, always ready to socialize with other servants, but unlike them is tight lipped. She suppresses her natural beauty and so it shines much more than if she would have made an effort to emphasize it. She convinces her mistress, a very sharp and demanding lady and us, the audience, that she is a natural, excellent chambermaid, innocent in every way and this heightens the surprise that comes at the end of this excellent movie.
