Biography

Anette Wylenska, the talented daughter of the renowned actress Geneviève Sorya, made her cinematic debut in 1948 with a captivating performance as Juliette in the film "The Lovers of Verona", which was later released in 1949.

Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Anette continued to showcase her acting prowess in various films, including the critically acclaimed "Montparnasse 19" (1958) and the iconic "La Dolce Vita" (1960). However, it was her starring roles in "Lola" (1961) directed by Jacques Demy and "A Man and a Woman" (1966) directed by Claude Lelouch that brought her major success and recognition.

Unfortunately, despite her impressive performance in "A Man and a Woman", Anette did not capitalize on the opportunity to establish herself in the United States. Instead, she went on to participate in a series of second-tier productions in both Europe and the United States, marking a significant decline in her career trajectory.
