Born Nicole Françoise Florence Dreyfus, Aimée began her career in the late 1940s. However, she found dominance in the foreign film market in the '60s with Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. Following her work in that film, she worked with the famed director three years later on 8½.
Aimée's role in 1966's A Man and A Woman, directed by Claude Lelouch, earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. Although she didn't win, she did take home a BAFTA and a Golden Globe for her work in the film.
Aimée's other credits included Lola, 1999 Madeleine, The General of The Dead Army, and Seasons of Our Love. According to IMDb, Aimée's last film credit was 2019's The Best Years of a Life. The same year, Aimée appeared at the Cannes Film Festival alongside director Lelouch and the rest of the cast.
Aimée was married and divorced four times. She is survived by her daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter.
