Hélène Surgère

Hélène Surgère was born on October 20, 1928 in France and worked in the film industry. Surgère appeared in two films that remain part of her documented filmography. In 1976 she took the role of Signora Vaccari in Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom, a film noted for its controversial themes.

Nearly a quarter-century later, Surgère appeared in Time Regained as Françoise. Both credits reflect her presence in productions that engaged with challenging material and literary adaptation. The two titles represent the extent of the verified record of Surgère’s work in cinema.
