She took the lead role in the musical "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg". Genevieve image of a young, in love with a poor guy, made famous Catherine. However, according to critics, the eldest sister in the actor's talent is still inferior. The girl who took as an alias maiden name of his mother who died early - Deneuve - even did not mind.
