BIOGRAPHY:

Born on August 9, 1976 in Beaumont, France, Audrey showed an interest for comedy at an early age and started her acting lessons at `Cours Florent'. In 1998 she won the best young actress award in the ninth `Jeune Comedien de Cinema Festival' in Bezier. Then, she came to the attention of Tonie Marshall who gave her a role in her film V�nus beaut� (institut) (1999) for which she won a Best New Actress Cesar. It came as a surprise to even Audrey: "I was so certain I could not be chosen that I told her that she probably dialled a wrong number." The director chose her for her natural nature: "She came, she gaffed, she turned reddish, her ears were in a funny position and her hair was relaxed. In five minutes, she gave me the heart of the character, a petite young girl who would like to be a lady and will become a woman." In 2000, Audrey was again nominated for a Cesar and her movie Le fabuleux destin d'Am�lie Poulain (2001) has been a phenomenal success worldwide.

TRIVIA:

She takes pictures of her interviewers and puts them in scrapbook.
Loves painting. Her favorite painters are Turner, Manet, Schiele, Ingres and Delacroix.
Although invited, she did not plan on attending the private screening of _Le fabuleux destin d'Am�lie Poulain (2001)_ (qv) organized and attended by President 'Jacques Chirac' (qv). She had a previous engagement with her brother (he was sworn in as a policeman that day). Director Jeunet told the French president that she was in Portugal. When she finally showed up, Jacques Chirac told her he thought she was in Portugal; she simply answered "you'll have to check your sources".
After _Le fabuleux destin d'Am�lie Poulain (2001)_ (qv), she and her sister went on a roadtrip in Indonesia where no one recognized her.
Favourite poets are 'Charles Baudelaire' (qv) and 'Tristan Tzara' (qv).
Favourite music composers are 'Ravel (I)' (qv), 'Mozart' (qv) and 'Fr�d�ric Chopin' (qv).
She nearly never got the chance to play the wonderful Am�lie Poulain, as director 'Jean-Pierre Jeunet' (qv) was considering British actress 'Emily Watson (I)' (qv) for the role of Am�lie.
Favourite movies are _Barry Lyndon (1975)_ (qv) and _� bout de souffle (1960)_ (qv).
