Emmanuelle Béart was born August 14, 1963, in Saint Tropez, France. She lived together with her brothers and sisters on a farm in Gassin not far from Saint Tropez in the Provence (southern France) because her father, French singer and poet Guy Béart, didn't want Emanuelle be effected by the glamour world of Paris. When she was 13, she saw Romy Schneider playing in the movie Mado. From that time on, she wanted to be an actress. In her teens, her parents sent her to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for four years, so she could learn English. In Montreal, she was engaged for a Robert Altman movie that was never made. After returning to France, she took drama classes and got her first TV role in Raison perdue. David Hamilton, the photographer/director, was impressed by her beauty and gave her a role in Premiers désirs. She met her spouse, Daniel Auteuil, making Amour en douce, L'. The film that made her famous in France was Manon of the Spring. She played the role of a blonde shepherd dancing nude in the fields. Director Tom McLoughlin choose her out of 5000 candidates for her first Hollywood picture, Date with an Angel. Emmanuelle is a very sensitive and a perfectionist. For the part of Camille in the film Un coeur en hiver, she had taken violin lessons for a whole year. Her biggest success was the art film The Beautiful Troublemaker with Michel Piccoli directed by Jacques Rivette, as a nude model.
