Jackie Sardou, born Jacqueline Labbé in Paris on 7 April 1919, was a French actress whose life and legacy remain closely tied to one of France's most prominent entertainment families. She married singer Fernand Sardou, and together they built a household that would produce several notable artistic figures. Her son, Michel Sardou, became one of the country's best-known singers, while her grandchildren Romain Sardou and Davy Sardou went on to establish themselves as an author and actor, respectively.
Throughout her career, Jackie Sardou appeared in a range of French film and television productions, earning recognition as a capable supporting performer.
