She was a member of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival in 1961. France Roche's career presents an atypical profile. Familiar with the general public until around 1965, she then took on executive functions more in the background, with less visibility, before returning to the screens from 1986. Such a long eclipse, although only apparent, and her return, have at the time created astonishment. She was the wife of François Chalais then of Gilbert de Goldschmidt, with whom she has a son: Frédéric, born in 1959.
