    FRENCH actress Jeanne Moreau, who lit up the screen in Jules et Jim and starred in some of the most critically-acclaimed films of the 20th century, has died aged 89, her agent said Monday.

    The husky-voiced actress epitomised the freedoms of the 1960s and brought daring and tomboy charm to a string of cinematic masterpieces from Louis Malle's Lift to the Scaffold to Joseph Losey's Eva.
