French actress Catherine Deneuve, 78, to pick career prize in Venice
French actress Catherine Deneuve will be honored with a career prize at this year's Venice Film Festival, organizers of the event said Wednesday, hailing her as a "timeless diva."
Deneuve, 78, has featured in well over 100 films, and is still active today. Some of her classics include Luis Bunuel's Belle de Jour, which won the top Golden Lion award in Venice in 1967, and Francois Truffaut's The Last Metro.
"It is a joy to receive this prestigious award at the Venice Festival, which I love and have known for a long time, since Belle de Jour by Luis Buñuel received the Golden Lion in its day," the actress said in a statement.

Festival director Alberto Barbera saluted Deneuve as "a true icon of the silver screen," recalling her work with other leading directors and actors such as Roger Vadim, Roman Polanski, Marcello Mastroianni and Gerard Depardieu.
Venice hosts the world's oldest film festival, and has built a reputation as a launchpad for films vying for the Oscars, as well as for more arthouse offerings. This year's edition runs from Aug. 31 to Sept. 10.

OP Do you know about the verb 'pick'?
It means to choose (someone or something) from a number of alternatives.

She doesn't date actors she says because they're all either gay or bi. She's honest at least, but what does this say about her great love Marcello?

I suppose this 'career prize in Venice' I some consolation from when the title of 'Marianne' ( the symbol of the French Republic) was given to her in 1985 and then so cruelly taken from her four years later.

The husbear and I smoked weed and watched Indochine some days ago. I love this film. Never tire of the magnificent cinematography, the historical setting, the superb acting.
Deneuve deserved that Best Actress nom from the Academy.

She always gives good hair. I took her stylist's advice and stopped using silicone-based products, and the volume I get now is effortless compared to before.

R17 Meryl didn't debase herself by fucking Johnny Hallyday for decades.

Your thread opener's illiteracy would be understandable if you had typed the location as "Venexia."

But Deneuve also fucked Pierre Clementi. What does this great romance imply?
If she had a child with Clementi, he/she would be better looking than that daughter from Marcello's love affair though.

Pierre Clementi was prettier than Deneuve
