Catherine Demongeot (born 16 May 1950 in Paris) is a French former child actress. Her debut role was Zazie in Zazie dans le Métro (1960); this was followed by only a few more films. According to an interview with Vincent Malle (film producer, and brother of Louis Malle) for the UK DVD release of Zazie (2006, Optimum Releasing), Demongeot never made another film and later went on to become a teacher.
