Taking the stage, Deneuve said she was surprised to be getting the award as a French actress. "It's very rare," she said. "It seems very special." She thanked the many directors she worked with who gave her the confidence to make radical choices in her films. The Chaplin award has been named for Charlie Chaplin since it was given to him in 1972. Previous recipients have included Scorsese, Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Taylor, Alfred Hitchcock and, last year, Sidney Poitier. Deneuve's most famous films include Jacques Demy's musical "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (1964), Roman Polanski's "Repulsion" (1965), Luis Bunuel's "Belle de Jour" (1967), Francois Truffaut's "The Last Metro" (1980) and Regis Wargnier's "Indochine" (1992), for which she received her only Oscar nomination. ___ Online:
