One of her best known roles is in Jean-Luc Godard's Two or Three Things I Know About Her, in which she played a beautician who works as a prostitute as a sideline (only in France!) in what is essentially a cinematic essay about Godard's views about contemporary life (again, only in France!).  She may best known to Americans as Charlotte, the object of desire in the 1976 comedy movie Pardon Mon Affaire, about a man who thinks he's found the woman of his dreams, but then the dream turns into a nightmare. 

Mlle. Duperey is also a writer, having written eight novels.   She also played Catherine Beaumont, a family matriarch, in "Une famille formidable" ("A Marvelous Family"), a French comedy TV series that ran for 26 years - longer than "Gunsmoke" in America - that focuses on the comings and goings of a French family and their friends.
