[edit] Career
While she starred in over 25 films between the years of 1955 and 1968, Audret's success never crossed over internationally, despite a striking resemblance to Audrey Hepburn and a similar acting style. Her career in film, television, stage and music stayed in her native France. One of her most high profile films came when she starred opposite Orson Welles in the 1961 film La Fayette.
After the birth of her daughter, in 1966, Pascale put her career on the back burner to raise her child.
[edit] Personal life
Audret was married twice, first to French actor Roger Coggio and later to music producer Francis Dreyfus. It was her second marriage that produced her only child, daughter, Julie Dreyfus, now an actress, who starred in the 2003 film Kill Bill. Julie's resemblance to her late mother is undeniable.
Audret's brother is singer Hugues Aufray.
[edit] Death
Audret died in a road accident. She was in the passenger seat of a car being driven by her companion.
