Yvonne Arnaud (1890-1958) was born on 20 December 1890 in Bordeaux, France. She made her first films in 1920 (Desire and The Temptress) but then no more until the sound era. She was first a stage actress and a gifted pianist.
Her last movie was Tati's #MonOncle (1958). She portrayed the housemaid of the Arpels. She died half a year after Mon Oncle was released.
French-born, her career was in Great-Britain, where the #YvonneArnaud Theatre in Guilford is named in her honor.

(..) It's wonderful how Tati put her character in the film, how he shows he sees her a woman later on in the film and acts as a gentleman towards her 'aging', so with the necessary mild-manneredness.

"There is overwhelming evidence that the higher the level of self-esteem, the more likely one will be to treat others with respect, kindness, and generosity."
Nathaniel Branden

Mon Oncle, 1958

Elisabeth Amsterdamer, aka Betty Schneider or Betty Schneider-Raffaelli, French actress, was born in 1934 (Lens).

She also acted in Paris nous appartient, a film I highly recommend (Jacques Rivette, 1961 - Cahiers director of the Nouvelle Vague).
Betty Schneider as Betty, Landlord's Daughter/la fille de la concierge (charming both young and older).

I would be surprised if #Ozu watched #MonOncle. But some (coincidental) resemblances are in this 1959 movie: Good Morning. Musicwise (Romans), contrast old/new world at the beginning of this fragment, the children seem dressed as mailmen (Jour de Fête), subtle smile evoked although I do not understand the language, 'establishing shots',....
