Biography
With a career that spans over four decades, Cécile Vassort has appeared in over 40 feature films. Beautiful redhead Vassort had her first role in the short film "La rentrée," after which she focused mainly on television, appearing in several TV shows and made- for-TV movies. One of the shows was "Rocambole," a three-season long TV series based on the French writer Pierre Alexis Ponson du Terrail's novels about a crafty and resourceful orphan. In the 1970's, Vassort used her looks and overt sexuality in a handful of feature films. In "Pleasure Party," she bared it all playing the mistress of a man who agreed with his wife to each seek an extra-marital affair. She played a grieving widow in "Evil Pleasure," who quickly found comfort in the arms of the man investigating her husband's death. Vassort also appeared in the 1983 hit "One Deadly Summer," which told the tale of a beautiful woman (Isabelle Adjani) who sought revenge against the men who raped her mother. The film became the top-grossing French movie at the box office that year. Aside from film, Vassort has also acted in a theater performance of Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire," as well as recorded songs by Boris Vian, the famed French polymath and musician.
