Lucienne Moreau (17 February 1933 – 16 January 2022) was a French actress best known for her work on Groland and Le Petit Journal on Canal+. For most of her career she worked as a security guard. In 1992 she moved to Argenteuil, and in 2000 she answered a newspaper ad for taking pictures. This led to more advertising work and she built up an acting résumé. She joined Masters Models, a marketing agency for seniors, and the publicity agency Leg, which helped her land ads such as Eurostar.

Moreau later appeared in television and film, and became known for her roles on Groland and Le Petit Journal, where she had her own segment called “The Lucienne Live Report.” In December 2010 she took part in David Ken’s LOL project, disguising herself as Mrs. Claus. During the 2010 Christmas season she hosted a Le Petit Journal segment called “Lucienne a lu” with Yann Barthès. Throughout the 2010s she took on many advertising campaigns and remained a familiar face.

Lucienne Moreau died in Paris on 16 January 2022 at the age of 88.
