Her filmography includes many successful films: Papy fait de la résistance, La boum, Trois hommes et un couffin, Les bronzés font du ski, Inspecteur la Bavure (alongside Gérard Depardieu). In 1988, she was awarded Best supporting actress for her role in Agent trouble (with Catherine Deneuve). She also starred in the long-lasting French TV series Sœur Thérèse.com (2002-2011) playing a former policer who became a nun but is still a committed detective.
