Emmanuelle Béart (born August
14, 1963) is a French actress.
Béart was born in Gassin Var,
not far from St. Tropez, on the French Riviera. She
is the daughter of the French singer and poet Guy
Béart (who is of Russian and Spanish descent),
and an Italian-Greek mother, Geneviève Galea.
As an eleven-year-old she obtained
an acting role in the 1976 film "Demain les Momes."
In her teens she appeared in bit parts in television
then went to Montreal, Quebec, Canada to work as a
nanny before returning to France the following year
to attend drama school in Paris. A short time later
she was cast in her first adult role in a film, and
in 1986 she skyrocketed to fame with her role opposite
Yves Montand, in the film "Manon des sources."
For her performance, she won the 1987 Cesar Award
for "Best Supporting Actress."
She also won a "Best Actress" award at the
Moscow International Film Festival for her starring
role in the 1995 film, "Une Femme Française."
After a ten-year relationship with Daniel Auteuil
(her co-star in Manon des Sources and Un Coeur en
Hiver), she divorced him and re-married.
In addition to her award for Best

In addition to her screen work, Ms. Béart is

(illegal immigrants), she was forcibly removed after
