Félicité du Jeu is a French actress. She is best known for her role as DC Stella Goodman in the BBC drama Waking the Dead.
Early life Du Jeu studied at the Conservatoire d'Art Dramatique de Saint-Germain-en-Laye from 1992 to 1996, and took the Jean Périmony course the following two years, for which she received the Louis Jouvet prize in 1997. She went on to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and received a special commendation for the Ian Charleson Award for her role as Katherine in Henry V in 2003 with the National Theatre.

Career She starred in the BBC show Waking the Dead, appearing from the fifth series until the opening episode of the eighth series.
