Born Anne-José Madeleine Henriette Bénard, Cécile Aubry had a short, but glamourous movie career before she began writing children's books. Her best-known books are the "Belle et Sebastien" series, about an orphan boy and his dog in the French Alps. The books were the basis of a live-action French TV show, which starred Aubry's son.
