"I knew I had become a star when I shook hands with Simone Signoret at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival. She died four months later".
- Juliette Binoche(on Simone Signoret) I suppose it is fair to say that I fell hopelessly in love with Simone Signoret the very first time I clapped eyes on her in a modest Ealing film called Against the Wind (1948). I placed her then on the very peak of her profession and as far as I am concerned she has never budged from it and I still love her dearly.
