Hermine Marie Karagheuz (Armenian: Հերմինե Ղարագյոզ; 2 December 1938 – 30 April 2021) was a French-Armenian actress, writer and photographer.
Karagheuz was born on 2 December 1938[1] in Paris, France. Her parents were originally from Armenia and were living in exile as a result of the Armenian genocide, which had made them both orphans.[2] The Karagheuzes were an artistic family.[3] Hermine Karagheuz grew up in Issy-les-Moulineaux and moved to Saint-Germain-des-Prés when she turned 18.[2]
Career
Karagheuz's acting career spanned across films, television, and stage. Her film debut was in Jacques Baratier's Le Désordre à vingt ans (1966).[2] She appeared in many films by director Jacques Rivette, notably the thirteen-hour long Out 1 (1971), Duelle (1976), and Merry-Go-Round (1981), all of which concluded with a shot of Karagheuz.[4] Among her notable TV roles was Éponine in the 1972 mini series adaptation of Les Misérables by Marcel Bluwal.[2] On stage, she acted in some 30 productions between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s.[1]
As a photographer, she had her works exhibited by agnès b. at the Galerie du Jour in Paris in 1996–1997.[5] She contributed to the exhibition Mémoires arméniennes (English: Armenian Memories) at Parc de la Villette in 2006.[6] In 2017, she provided narration for Georgina Starr's exhibition Moment Memory Monument at FRAC Franche-Comté.[7]
