Christine Boisson passed today and she will be sorely missed. The iconic French actress was a unique woman who worked for 40 years and worked with some of the most famous directors from around the world. She gave the world a lot of great works and a lot of skintastic nude scenes. Let's remember her amazing work.
Christine Boisson is a French actress who began her career in theatre. She was in several plays before she had her big break in the 1974 erotic movie Emmanuelle. She was barely-legal and said that she was cast in 1974's erotic classic because of her body. She played Marie-Ange, a sexually curious teenager who introduces Emmanuelle to the man who takes her on the journey to sexual liberation. It's young Christine's character who does it!
After that film, Christine continued to be cast for her looks. Knowing this frusteed her. She wanted to be a real actress, so she went to acting school at France's most prestigious Conservatoire. She honed her skills there onscreen and on stage before she was able to prove herself as a skilled actress. She wanted to be more than just a pretty face with nice tits and a perfect ass. She wanted to be an artiste!
And that is exactly what she became. She actually refused to take any roles that seemed to emphasize her beauty. One might think that that would limit an actress' career, but she managed to become a very respected actress in the 80s with roles in Michaelangelo Antonioni's Identification of a Woman and Jacques Bral's Exterior, Night.
Just because she refused roles that focused on her looks does not mean that she did not go nude. She's French! Of course she went nude! She became known for her dark hairy bush and her plump rump. Those two things stayed with her throughout her career in various roles!
She starred in 1995's La Femme dangereuse in which she showed off her downstairs area while a man kissed her gently right there - a scene that she seemed to reenact in several other films. Christine Boisson was always reliable when it came to skintastic nudity. That's one of the many reasons we love watching her.
She has always had a flair for drama. She made headlines in 2010 when she attempted suicide. She was going to jump from her apartment, but firefighters stopped her. She later admitted that she never intended to jump, but merely threatened it after a dispute with her partner. She said that she was very ashamed to have done this. That's okay, Christine. You were dramatique!
Christine passed away at 68 years old. She died from stomach cancer in Nice, France. She will be very fondly remembered for her contributions to cinema and skinema. She leaves behind so many nude scenes that will be enjoyed around the world for ages to come.
Rest in peace, Christine Boisson.
