(AP Photo/Jean-Jacques Levy, File)PARIS French actor Michel Piccoli, a prolific screen star who appeared in landmark films by directors such as Luis Bunuel - including in his Academy Award winning The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Jean-Luc Godard, has died. His family confirmed to French media Monday that he died last week, but they did not give a cause of death. The actors last major role was in 2011's Nanni Morettis We Have a Pope, which premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

Veteran French actress Catherine Deneuve was in a Paris hospital after suffering a small stroke, her family told AFP Wednesday. Deneuve is arguably the most famous French actress of all time, having starred in more than 100 films, most recently alongside Juliette Binoche in Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda's "The Truth." In a 2014 interview with CBS' "Sunday Morning," Deneuve denied once saying that beauty had always been a burden for her. Five years later she made global headlines again by signing a petition with 342 other French women artists and intellectuals who admitted they had undergone illegal abortions. An open letter she signed with 100 other prominent French women defending men's right to "hit on" women caused an uproar although she later attempted to distance herself from some of its signatories.
