Anicée Alvina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anicée Alvina, also known as Anicée Schahmaneche (b. Anicée Shahmanesh or Anicee Schahmane on January 28, 1953, Boulogne-Billancourt, France to a French mother and an Iranian father - d. November 10, 2006, Boncourt, Eure et Loir, France from cancer) was a French singer and actress.
She made her first movie appearance in Elle boit pas, elle fume pas, elle drague pas, mais... elle cause ! in 1970 and became famous for her lead roles in Glissements progressifs du plaisir (1974) and Le Jeu avec le feu, two movies directed by Alain Robbe-Grillet. She starred in the 1971 Lewis Gilbert film Friends, whose soundtrack helped launch the singing and sonwriting careers of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. These three lead roles were notable for their nudity, although Alvina had very good acting qualities.
She played a femme fatale in the Jacques Doniol-Valcroze movie where she seduces Jacques Weber. She then appeared in films directed by Gérard Blain and Bernard Queysanne, among others.
She had the lead role in the TV comedy Les 400 coups de Virginie which was shown on TF1 in 1979.
