Sophie
Marceau (November 17, 1966) is a French actress.
Born Sophie Danièle Sylvie
Maupu in Paris, France, at the age of 14 she played
in the teenager movie La Boum (1980). Overnight, the
film elevated her to teenage idol status in France
and many other European countries. In 1983, she was
honored with a Cesar Award, France's equivalent of
an Oscar, for "Most Promising Actress".
Two years later the less funny but
more sentimental sequel La Boum 2 (1982) increased
her popularity further. At age 16 she played a more
demanding role in Fort Saganne (1984), in which her
co-stars were Gérard Depardieu and Catherine
Deneuve. The same year she played with Jean-Paul Belmondo
in Joyeuses Pâques (1984).
She showed her dramatic skills in
films directed by her long-time companion, director
Andrzej Zulawski: L'Amour braque (1985), Mes nuits
sont plus belles que vos jours (1989), La Note bleue
(1991) and La Fidélité (2000).
Marceau rose to international stardom
playing the part of Princess Isabelle in Mel Gibson's
historical epic Braveheart (1995). Following this
success, she appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream
(1999), and as a Bond girl in the James Bond film
The World Is Not Enough (1999).
Marceau wrote a semi-autobiographical
novel Telling Lies (2001), and tried directing, as
well. Making her directorial debut in a feature film,
Sophie Marceau was awarded Best Director by the jury
of the 2002 Montreal World Film Festival for her film
Parlez-moi d'amour (Speak to Me of Love), starring
Judith Godrèche. Prior to this, in 1995, she
had made a 9-minute short film, L'Aube à l'envers,
which also starred her friend Godrèche.
