Mireille Darc was a French model and actress. She appeared as a lead character in Jean-Luc Godard's 1967 film Weekend and was a Knight of the Legion of Honor and Commander of the National Order of Merit. One of her most famous roles was in The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe (Le Grand Blond Avec une Chaussure Noire, 1972), an espionage farce in which she displayed a black backless dress to the astonishment of unwilling spy Pierre Richard. The dress, designed by Guy Laroche, is now in the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Alain Delon was her longtime co-star and companion.
