Marie-France Anglade was born in Constantine , France (now Algeria), in 1942. After the war she grew up in Chalons-sur-Marne . In 1958 she passed the holidays with an aunt in Chelles where director Jean Delannoy made the external shots for his film Guinguette (1959) with Zizi Jeanmaire. An assistant noticed her there and France became an extra. Subsequently, she moved to Paris where she posed with Genevieve Grad for fashion photographs and advertisements for Elle magazine. As a result she began a career in theater and film. In 1961 her film career really got on speed with parts in five films. She played the fiancée of Michel Auclair in Le rendez-vous de minuit/Midnight Meeting (1961, Roger Leenhardt) starring Lili Palmer. She had small parts in three portmanteau (anthology) films Amours célèbres/Famous Love Affairs (1961, Michel Boisrond) with Brigitte Bardot and Alain Delon, Les parisiennes/Tales of Paris (1962, Marc Allégret) starring Catherine Deneuve, and Les sept péchés capitaux/The Seven Deadly Sins (1962, Edouard Molinaro) with Dany Saval. The following year she continued to play small parts in such French films as the erotic Douce Violence/Sweet Ecstasy (1961, Max Pécas) with Elke Sommer and Pierre Brice, Comme un poisson dans l'eau/Like a Fish in Water (1962, André Michel) starring Michel Piccoli, and La denunciation/The Immoral Moment (1962, Jacques Doniol-Valcroze) with Maurice Ronet.

France Anglade had her first leading role in the TV comedy Le monsieur de 5 heures/ (1962, André Pergament). She also appeared in small roles in such prestigious productions as the Oscar winner Les dimanches de Ville d'Avray/Sundays and Cybele (1962, Serge Bourguignon) with Hardy Krüger as a man suffering from a war trauma and amnesia who befriends a lonely little girl. She found her niche in comedies. She played the title role in the comedy Clémentine chérie (1963, Pierre Chevalier) . Soon followed parts in other comedies like Les bricoleurs/Who Stole the Body? (1963, Jean Girault) with Darry Cowl, Du mouron pour les petits oiseaux/Chicken Feed for Little Birds (1963, Marcel Carné) with Dany Saval, and Les veinards/People in Luck (1963, Jean Girault) opposite Jean Lefebvre. She also appeared in Italian comedies, including Le motorizzate/The Motorised (1963, Marino Girolami) with Totò, and Canzoni bulli e pupe (1964, Carlo Infascelli) with the Italian comic duo Franco Franchi and Ciccio Ingrassia. In Germany she appeared in the Krimi spoof Maskenball bei Scotland Yard/Masked Ball at Scotland Yard (1963, Domenico Paolella) starring Bill Ramsey. These were often European coproductions with several countries involved. She had grown into leading roles and starred in the romantic comedy Comment trouvez-vous ma soeur?/How Do You Like My Sister? (1964, Michel Boisrond). In addition to her comedies she played some dramatic roles as in the war drama Le repas des fauves Champagne for Savages (1964, Christian-Jaque) with Antonella Lualdi.

In Italy she appeared in the spy spoof James Tont operazione D.U.E./The Wacky World of James Tont (1965, Bruno Corbucci). After the success of the James Bond films, the Italians were among the first to jump on the Secret Agent bandwagon. They were also at the fore when it came to parody them. Two James Tont adventures, in fact, emerged during 1965 (‘Tonto’ is Italian for ‘Dope’ (stupid)) featuring Sicilian comic Lando Buzzanca. He drives in a little Fiat which can double as a submarine. This film is the second entry – ‘D.U.E’. means ‘Two’, though the initials themselves stand for ‘Destruction Urbi Eterna’. This is a reference to the Vatican, whose invaluable wealth the chief villain plans on stealing via an improbably elaborate plan which would even see the cupola of St. Peter’s flying into space! She then appeared in the British, Beirut-set thriller Twenty-Four Hours to Kill (1965, Peter Bezencenet) starring Lex Barker and Mickey Rooney. In 1968 Life magazine placed a photo of her and a big gun in the magazine. She had auditioned for the new James Bond opus, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969, Peter R. Hunt), but she never became a Bond girl. In the second half of the 1960’s France Anglade only appeared in two films. She was one of the many beautiful European actresses who appeared in a sketch of the anthology film Le plus vieux métier du monde/The Oldest Profession (1967, Claude Autant-Lara) about the history of prostitution through the ages, and she played the title role in the remake Caroline chérie/Dear Caroline (1968, Denys de La Patellière). In the following decades she sometimes appeared on French TV, and for long intervals she seemed to be retired. She returned to the cinema in a supporting part in Madame Claude 2/Intimate Moments (1981, François Mimet) starring Alexandra Stewart, a mediocre sequel to Just Jaeckin’s erotic thriller about a notorious Parisian madam. Later she appeared in the French-Senegalese coproduction Toubab Bi (1991, Moussa Touré) and the thriller Money (1991, Steven Hilliard Stern) starring Eric Stoltz. France Anglade’s last camera appearance was in the TV series Highlander (1994, Peter Ellis) with Adrian Paul. ... (more)
