Sorry there is no Biography!



Discovered at age 3 and a half by director Jacques Doillon and cast in his film Ponette (1996) as title character. She plays the piano. Offered a role in a music video by the French rock band Superbus, but she declined the offer. She and Johnny Depp played video games together on the set of Chocolat (2000). After completing Ponette (1996), she was allowed to keep the doll (called Yoyotte in the film) and the teddy bear that belonged to her character. Roman Polanski headed the nine-member jury that chose her as winner of the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival; Polanski defended the decision to those who criticized it, saying that the jury unanimously voted for her. Emmanuel Saget, her director in Les grands s'allongent par terre (2008), was so impressed with her that after casting her, he rewrote the film from her character's point of view. In 2004, she did a seven-minute interview for a DVD box set of four films by Jacques Doillon; called "Coffret Jacques Doillon - Enfance," it includes Ponette (1996), La vie de famille (1985), La drôlesse (1979), and Un sac de billes (1975). After seeing an interview that Victoire did for a special edition DVD of Ponette (1996), Emmanuel Saget immediately wanted her for his film Les grands s'allongent par terre (2008). He sent her a copy of the script, and a week later, she called him and said that she would be in the film. At the Venice Film Festival, a reporter asked Victoire how she made herself cry so much as Ponette. Victoire, then age five, replied that it was normal for Ponette to cry because her mother was dead.
