French actress and children's writer Cécile Aubry has died at the age of 81.Her best known creation was the book Belle et Sébastien, about a young boy and his mountain dog.
This was of course the inspiration for the quirky indie band Belle & Sebastian who formed in 1996.
The book became a television series which was dubbed into English in the 1960s. Cécile's own son played the role of Sebastian and also sang the haunting theme tune.
Her best known film was The Black Rose with Tyrone Power and Orson Welles.
