French Film Star Deneuve Hospitalized After 'Limited' Stroke, Media Report

Reuters

   PARIS - French actress Catherine Deneuve, 76, was admitted to hospital
   in Paris after suffering a "limited" stroke, French media reported.

   "Catherine Deneuve has suffered a very limited and therefore reversible
   ischemic stroke. Happily, her motor control has not been affected. She
   will need a few days' rest," French news wire AFP and French daily Le
   Parisien reported, quoting from a Deneuve family statement.

   A spokeswoman for Deneuve declined to comment.

   Nicknamed the "Ice Maiden" because of her exquisite, fragile beauty and
   detached manner, Deneuve became France's leading screen actress and a
   top international star in the 1960s.
