Annie Belle

Annie Belle was born Annie Brilland on December 10, 1956 in Paris, France. Belle comes from a family of engineers and first developed an interest in acting while attending the Rue Blanche acting school in Paris. Annie acted in her first film while still in her teens in 1974. Among the notable directors that Belle starred in movies for are Jean Rollin, Joe D'Amato, Massimo Dallamano, and Ruggero Deodato. Known for her slender figure, porcelain complexion, and close-cropped hairstyle, Annie was especially memorable as the haughty Lisa in Deodato's brutal and controversial La casa sperduta nel parco (1980). After acting in her last film in 1989, Belle received a college degree in psychology and subsequently went on to become a social worker for people diagnosed with mental illness.
