She then met director Claude Chabrol and appeared in his 1959 film “Les Cousins”. She's continued to appear in Chabrol's films ever since. Chabrol helped shape the onscreen persona of Audran as that of a cooly elegant middle-class Frenchwoman.

This can be seen in her only Euro-western portrayal as the widow in “Eagles Wing” (1979).
