French-American movie director Tonie Marshall dies at 68.
FILE - In this Feb.5, 2018 file photo, Tonie Marshall poses during a photocall prior to the 23rd Lumieres awards ceremony in Paris. French-American filmmaker and actress Tonie Marshall, who remained the only female director to ever win a French Cesar award, has died. She was 68.
Marshall dealt with sexism head-on in work subsequent to her Cesar-winning film, including in 2017's “Number One” that centers on the rise of a top female executive in spite of rampant misogyny. Marshall also appeared as a vocal supporter of the French #MeToo movement on the sidelines of 2018's Cesar Awards, and was a member of the pro-women-in-film group Collectif 50 50.
The death of the only woman director the Cesar board has ever honored comes at an important moment for the French Film Academy, which is dogged by accusations of sexism.
