A light and nonchalant young lady, a strong iron lady, an amorous and whacky coquette … Signore Simone tried on many roles. But the most important and dear to her was the role of a beloved woman and mother.
Childhood and youth
Simone Signoret, whose real name is Simone Kaminker, is a French actress who was born on March 25, 1921 in occupying Germany.
The eldest daughter is Andre Kaminker, a Polish Jewish translator and Frenchwoman. The family had three children. Simone had two younger brothers - Alain and Jean-Pierre.
Living in Brittany during the Second World War, like all children, Simone studied in high school. After graduating from higher education, the girl taught history to schoolchildren for several months, but this lesson quickly bored her, and she decided to take a different path.
Realizing that pedagogy is not at all what she would like to devote her life to, Simone goes to conquer Paris. There she gets a job as a secretary, and in parallel with the main occupation she debits in the cinema.
Choosing a stage name, she decided to change her father's last name to her mother's last name - Signoret. The latter seemed to her much more harmonious.
Carier start
In 1943, she met her future husband - Yves Allerget. He was a French filmmaker. Simone did not know with whom she fell in love more - in him or in his profession. The scene, cameras, general attention and recognition - all this bribed her from her first dates and attracted to herself. Three years later, the couple had a daughter, and a year later they got married.
