Early life

edit

Duperey's family is from La Neuville-Chant-d'Oisel in Normandy. She lost her parents, Lucien and Ginette Legras who were both photographers, at the age of 8[34] as they accidentally died on 6 November 1955 in Sotteville-lès-Rouen poisoned by carbon monoxide in their bathroom due to a faulty gas water heater and insufficient ventilation. Following this incident, she was raised by her paternal grandmother.[35][36][37] After attending her local theatre conservatory courses, she moved to Paris to attend those of René Simon. She started out as a model and took her first steps on stage in 1965, playing in La Mamma by André Roussin[38] and made her screen debut in Jean-Luc Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her (1967).
