Joëlle Coeur

During her short four-year career, French actress Joëlle Coeur appeared in 20 cult erotic and horror films from 1972 to 1976, most made by French director Jean Rollin. Then she finally retired from acting when French films started focusing on hardcore, which had just been legalized. Rollin said the new permissiveness held no interest for her. She never had an issue performing fully nude and in simulated sex scenes, or modeling for nude photos, but she refused to participate in actual sex onscreen, even though other French actresses were doing it.
