"Mireille Dargent rose to fame as a prominent figure in Eurocult cinema under the guidance of renowned director Jean Rollin. Her acting debut occurred in 1971's 'Requiem for a Vampire,' where she shared an intimate, candlelit scene with Marie-Pierre Castel on a bed adorned with skulls. In subsequent years, Dargent portrayed a clown in Rollin's peculiar 'The Iron Rose' (1973) and appeared in Pierre Chevalier's 'Avortement clandestin!' (1973). She reunited with Rollin for 'Lips of Blood' (1975) and 'Demoniacs' (1975), and her final film appearance was in the softcore feature 'Paris Porno' (1976). Mireille Dargent's legacy stands tall."
