• Name — Aurore Clément • Born — 12 October 1945 • Birthplace — Soissons, Aisne, France • Birth Name — Marie-Thérèse Aurore Louise Clément • Years Active — 1974–present • Occupation — Actress • Children — 2

She was born Marie-Thérèse Aurore Louise Clément in Soissons. Following the death of her father while she was still a young girl, she worked to support her family. For a time, she modeled in Paris. Since her appearance in Louis Malle's 1974 film Lacombe Lucien, she has been cast in many roles in over five decades.

Clément has appeared in more than 80 films and is most often remembered as the character Anne in the film Paris, Texas (1984), which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Her first appearance in a U.S. movie was in Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979). Her scenes—a long sequence involving French former colonists—were cut from the film in its original release but restored in 2001 in the Redux version. When Coppola called her for the role she spoke no English. She has said that she did not know that her scenes were cut before she saw the finished film for the first time, more than two years after the filming. In France, Clément made her stage debut in 1988 with The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs, adapted from George Moore's short story, and won an acting prize from The French Association of Theatre critics. She has been in several plays, including Les Eaux et Forêts and La Dame aux Camélias, for which she was nominated for the Molière Awards (the equivalent of the American Tonys).

Clément was married to Dean Tavoularis, a movie production designer, whom she had met on the set of Apocalypse Now, until his death in 2026.
