Varda was a central figure of the French New Wave and a feminist activist.
Filmmaker Agnes Varda, a central figure of the French New Wave and a feminist activist who later won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, has died. She was 90.
She was the first woman to receive such an honor, and regularly sought more recognition for women in the industry. With her distinctive half-red, half-gray hair, Varda was instantly recognizable on the European film circuit, where she was often one of the few female directors in the crowd. When she couldn't attend the Oscar nominees' luncheon, JR brought a life-sized cardboard cutout of her onto the red carpet with him.
