French actress born in Brest in 1964. Most famous for Betty
Blue, directed by Jean-Jacques Beineix, in which she played the
title role, which mostly consisted of walking around semi-naked
looking sultry and pouty. Her nickname is La Grande Bouche (bigmouth)
which is not entirely due to the pouty lips: in 1999 she was
declared an "Undesirable Immigrant" by the American
ambassador to France and denied a work permit to portray Bruce
Willis' wife in The Sixth Sense - a role that
ultimately went to Olivia Williams, thanks to Dalle's two arrests
for cocaine possession in Miami during filming of the Abel
Ferrara film The Blackout. Previously to this, she'd
been arrested for assaulting a Parisian meter maid who was
ticketing her car in a handicapped parking place. Wild child.
