Emmanuelle Béart was born on August 14, 1953, in Gassin, in the Var. His father, Guy Béart, is a popular singer and his mother, Geneviève Galéa is a former model who had a short acting career. The little girl was 8 years old when she appeared for the first time in a film: The Hare’s Course across the Fields by René Clément. As a teenager, she was a rebellious student determined to become an actress. She leaves for several years Montréal where she was spotted by Robert Altman for a film that was not made.
Returning to France, she settled in Paris and briefly attended a drama court. In 1983, she starred in First Desires, an erotic film by David Hamilton, then in Love on the Sweet by Edouard Molinaro. This feature film launched his career and allowed him to meet Daniel Auteuil who remained his companion for almost ten years. The young actress, however, must fight hard to appear in the distribution of Manon of the sources of New Claude thanks to which she won the César for Most Promising Actress in 1987. Thanks to this role, she quickly became a real star.
But her career choices disconcert the public: she favors dramatic roles and auteur films above all. She thus plays a delinquent in Children of Disorder, a prostitute in I don’t kiss by André Téchiné and a woman persecuted by her jealous husband in Hell by Claude Chabrol. Her bare role in The Hazelnut Beauty by Jacques Rivette reinforces her image of a liberated and sensual woman. With Claude Sautet, she found the opportunity to demonstrate her talent as an actress in a more subtle register and a subdued range of feelings. A Heart in Winter (1991), then Nelly and Mr. Arnaud (1995) are public and critical successes.
Another form of recognition: it is chosen by Brian de Palma to be the partner of Tom Cruise In Mission : impossible in 1996. She let herself be tempted by comedy with The log by Danielle Thompson and renews the experience with Clairvoyance and Manigance in 2001 and To drink in 2003. However, she remains attached to psychological interpretations: she collaborates with Olivier Assayas (Les Destinées sentimentales), Jacques Rivette (The Story of Marie and Julien), André Téchiné (The Lost), Anne Fontaine (Nathalie…) and Danis Tanovic (Hell). We found her at the end of 2006 alongside Catherine Deneuve et Gerard Lanvinas a glamorous cabaret singer for the needs of The Family Hero. Two years later, it’s in the shoes of a dance teacher in the comedy Disco then in the role of a mother looking for her child missing in the Thai tsunami in vinyan that the actress is talking about her. In 2010, she found her companion at the time Michaël Cohen with whom she shared the poster for the sentimental drama It starts with the endbut also in Bye Bye Blondie by Virginie Despentes in 2012. That same year, she was in the credits of the anarchic film Gaucho TV. She was also seen in The Yellow Eyes of Crocodiles in 2014, but the actress is becoming increasingly rare in the cinema: it is mainly in the theater that she now makes appearances.
