French star Anouk Aimee, who died on Tuesday aged 92, cast a spell over a generation of film-goers with her roles in European masterpieces such as Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita and A Man and A Woman by Claude Lelouch.

Fellini, who also directed Aimée in 8 1/2 (1963) revered her, saying her "face has the same intriguing sensuality as that of (Greta) Garbo, (Marlene) Dietrich or (Cindy) Crawford, these great mysterious queens, these priestesses of femininity."
