CANNES, France (AP) – French acting icon Catherine Deneuve is a cinema supernova. And she says they don’t make stars like they used to.

Deneuve told reporters in Cannes Wednesday that glamour needs mystery, and that’s hard to achieve now that social media has blurred the boundary between private and public.

Deneuve said the all-revealing nature of celebrity culture doesn’t “let people dream anymore” about celebrities.

“The private lives of actors and actresses are displayed around the globe,” she said. “People even post up their own private photos on these social networks, and I find that a pity.

“That isn’t conducive to dreams.”
