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).

She co-starred in two French horror films, Spirits of the Dead (1968) and The Blood Rose (1970).In the 1974 Alain Resnais film Stavisky, she portrayed Arlette, the beautiful real-life wife of flamboyant swindler Alexandre Stavisky played by Jean-Paul Belmondo. Anny Duperey was nominated for the 1977 César Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in "Un éléphant ça trompe énormément" (An Elephant Can Be Extremely Deceptive).

Personal life

Her younger sister Patricia died in 2009 of a heart problem. She lived with actor Bernard Giraudeau for fifteen years, they had two children, Gael in 1982 and Sara in 1985. They separated in 1991, and Duperey married Cris Campion in 1993, but they also separated after some ten years.[39] She has called Giraudeau “the man of my life” and Campion “the love of my life”.[40] She is the grandmother of four: Mona (2011) and Bonnie (2016), daughters of Sara, and Romy (2015) and Susanne (2018), daughters of Gael.
