Anna Karina, best known for the seven films she made with Jean-Luc Godard, including Bande à Part, Alphaville and Pierrot le Fou, has been remembered at the 92nd Academy Awards in Hollywood.

The Danish-French actor, who died in December aged 79, was working as a model when she was spotted by Godard while walking along the Champs-Elysees. Godard offered her a nude scene in Breathless, his first film, but she refused.

They were a couple when, at barely 21, she won best actress at the Berlin film festival for his 1961 film A Woman is a Woman. They divorced in 1965.

The actor epitomised 1960s chic with her elfin features and big kohl-rimmed blue eyes, and went on to forge a successful career as a director and singer.
