Anna Karina (born Hanne Karin Bayer,[1] 22 September 1940 – 14 December 2019) was a Danish-French actress, director, writer, and singer. She became famous in the French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard's muse in the 1960s,[2] performing in several of his movies, including The Little Soldier (1960), A Woman Is a Woman (1961), Vivre sa vie (1962), Band of Outsiders (1964), and Pierrot le Fou and Alphaville (both 1965).

Karina was seen as an icon of 1960s cinema.[3][4] The New York Times has described her as "one of the screen’s great beauties and an enduring symbol of the French New Wave."[5]

Karina died of problems caused by a muscle aneurysm in Paris on 14 December 2019 at the age of 79.[6][7]
