Life and career[edit]

Early life[edit]
Belle was born in Paris, France and came from a family of engineers. Acting may have
seemed to be an odd career choice for her when she was young but she was quite a natural
at it. Belle's acting career began to take shape when she attended the Rue Blanche acting
school in Paris under master Virilo. Belle explained this in an interview for the Italian book 99
Donne in the nineties.

Films[edit]
Belle had starred in her first role before she had turned eighteen, in the 1974 Jean Rollin
film Tout le Monde il en a Deux (Bacchanales Sexuelles)[5] in which she only had a small role,
but a memorable one. Rollin had loved working with Belle so he had decided to cast her in
his 1975 film Lvres de Sang (Lips of Blood)[6] and that had been her only times working with
the director. Not long after filming Lvres de Sang, Belle moved to Italy and for a brief time
became one if the most in demand actresses in Italian exploitation cinema, with having
starred in three major films in 1976 alone: Forever Emmanuelle,[7] Blue Belle and Velluto
Nero. Blue Belle was one of the key points in Belle's career, a film in which she had a cowriting credit on, calling the director of the movie - Massimo Dallamano "a great professional
and a talanted man". One of Belle's most controversial films was Velluto Nero. Belle
remembers Forever Emmanuelle as a "not very good" film.
In the early 1980s, Belle had starred in Italian films, The House on the Edge of the Park,[8]
[9]
which Belle remembers as being very "cruel" and also very "interesting" and two Joe
D'Amato films, Absurd[10][11] andL'Alcova. Belle adored D'Amato, calling him a great director
with actors and she also said that he could have indeed been "one of the greatest
filmmakers ever". Personal problems slowed Belle's acting career down in the eighties and in
1989 she starred in her final film Fagu dalla Morte and then she retired from acting.[12][13]

Other work[edit]
Since returning to France, Belle went to school and received a degree in psychology [14] and is
now a social worker for people diagnosed with mental illness.[15]

Personal life[edit]
Belle had a three-year relationship with actor Al Cliver, it lasted between 1975 and 1978.
During which, they acted in four films together, Belle's three films from 1976, Forever
Emmanuelle, Blue Belle and Velluto Nero and her 1977 film Un Giorno alla fine di Ottobre.
After their split they occasionally acted together in films such as Molto di Pi and L'Alcova.
