In addition to her high-profile marriage to internationally renowned
filmmaker Roman Polanski, actress Emmanuelle Seigner has utilized her
enigmatic beauty to striking effect in such films as Jean-Luc Godard's
Détective and Polanski's dark supernatural thriller The Ninth Gate. A native
of Paris and the daughter of a prolific photographer father and journalist
mother, Seigner was no stranger to show business. Grandfather Louis and aunt
Françoise were both members of the renowned Comédie Française, a theater
company with a history that reaches back as far as 1680. Raised at a convent
school before embarking on a career in modeling at age 14, Seigner's unusual
beauty found the blossoming cover girl eventually making a segue into film.
Seigner made her screen debut in the 1984 romantic drama Year of the
Jellyfish, and it wasn't long before her acting career was gaining momentum
with Godard's Détective and the 1986 drama Cours Privé. A year after
appearing as Harrison Ford's missing wife in Polanski's Frantic (1989), the
screen beauty exchanged wedding vows with the diminutive director.
Subsequently appearing in such Polanski efforts as Bitter Moon (1992) and
The Ninth Gate (1999), Seigner also found success in her own right when
nominated for a Best Supporting Actress César for her performance in the
1998 drama Place Vendôme. Her role as the mysterious neighbor in 1999's
Buddy Boy utilized her beauty to striking effect, and in 2003 Seigner took
the lead as a stripper who escapes the seedy world of men's clubs only to
uncover a horrifying secret about her husband in Corps à corps. With her
high-profile role in the 2003 action film Os Imortais, it appeared as if
Seigner might finally be escaping the legendary shadow of her husband to
build a respectable onscreen career of her own. |
