Is it still necessary to introduce Charlotte Rampling? Accomplished British actress born in 1946, famed for her numerous roles in movies, her magnetic look and her deep voice.
English, yes, but French as well. Born to a British colonel, former Olympic track and field champion, and an artist-painter, she was only 8 years old when her family settled in Fontainebleau. Model, then music-hall artist in a duo with her sister, she rapidly started acting for the greatest directors, besides renowned actors.
After her debuts with Luchino Visconti or Oshima, she featured in a movie with Woody Allen, Robert Mitchum and Sidnety Lumet. Then at the end of the 70s, it’s with Boisset, Lelouch and Deray, to cite a few. More discreet in the 90s, she shoots Sous le Sable by François Ozon, who will capture her acting again in Swimming Pool. In 2001, she was awarded the Cesar d’Honneur, for her whole career, and became a leading actress once more. Then, in 2013, to everyone’s surprise, she decides to participate in the American series Dexter in the role of Evelyne Vogel. She has more recently revived her love for music and released in 2022 her album De l’amour mais quelle drôle d’idée.
