French actress Marianne Assouline

Marianne Assouline is a French actress who has somehow escaped the attention of Anglophone audiences. 


She is known in France for starring in a TV series - "Quatre pour un loyer" ("Four For Rent") - about folks who are not rich but pretend to be - so that might explain it.

But Mlle. Assouline has appeared in movies as well.  Among them are L'oeil au beurre noir (Black Eye), a 1987 satire about racism in France, and the 1991 drama Les fleurs du mal (The Evil Flowers).  Some Americans, though, likely saw her on TV without realizing it; she appeared in a single episode of "Counterstrike,"  a Franco-Canadian crime-fighting/espionage series starring Christopher Plummer and Simon MacCorkindale.  "Counterstrike" aired on the USA cable channel in the States.
