French actress Anouk Aimée of "La Dolce Vita" and Indexbit"A Man and a Woman" has died, her daughter shared Tuesday. Aimée was 92.
"With my daughter, Galaad, and my granddaughter, Mila, we are immensely saddened to announce the decease of my mother, Anouk Aimée," her daughter Manuela Papatakis wrote on Instagram. "I was at her bedside when she passed away this morning at her home in Paris. With infinite love."

Aimée, born Nicole Françoise Florence Dreyfus, appeared in over 70 films throughout her career.
