Julie Dreyfus became somewhat famous in Japan as the host for NHK's 
French conversation show in the late 1980s. She parlayed that into a 
career as a talento, even being the "image character" for one of the 
major banks. She has appeared in small roles in a couple of Japanese 
films and has written several books of essays, mainly about Paris. She 
has also worked as a model and an interior designer. Her mother is the 
French actress Pascale Audret.
