Life
Private life
Sophie Marceau is the second child of saleswoman Simone Morisset († December 18, 2016 ) and driver Benoît Maupu. She occasionally helped out at her parents' restaurant, who divorced when she was nine years old.
Marceau had a relationship with the Polish director Andrzej Żuławski for 17 years . Their son was born in 1995. Her daughter, born in 2002, comes from her relationship with producer Jim Lemley . From 2007 Sophie Marceau was in a relationship with the actor Christopher Lambert . They married in 2012 and separated in July 2014.
Career
Marceau became an overnight star in France and numerous European countries with the teen comedy La Boum - Die Fete (1980) at the age of 14 . The sequel La Boum 2 - The Fete Goes On (1982) increased its popularity even more. For her portrayal she received the César Film Prize in 1983 in the category of best young actress. In order not to remain tied to the role of the innocent teenager, the then 16-year-old bought a million francs from the contract with Gaumont , which would have committed her to another sequel to La Boum .
At 17, Marceau played with Gérard Depardieu and Catherine Deneuve in Fort Saganne (1984) and in the same year directed the comedy Happy Easter with Jean-Paul Belmondo . In the following years she demonstrated her acting versatility under the direction of Andrzej Żuławski , so in Love and Violence (1985), My Nights Are More Beautiful Than Your Days (1989), Blue Note (1991) and The Faithfulness of Women (2000 ).
Her role in the film Descent to Hell (1986) was irritating to the general public : Claude Brasseur played the alcoholic husband of the now 19-year-old Marceau after he had portrayed her father in the two La Boum films. In addition, the revealing erotic scenes caused a scandal in France. Marceau's international breakthrough came as Princess Isabelle in Mel Gibson's Scottish epic Braveheart (1995). This was followed in 1999 by A Midsummer Night's Dream and James Bond 007 - The World Is Not Enough , in which she embodied Elektra King.
At the beginning of the 1990s, Marceau also tried her hand as a stage actress in Paris. For her role as Eurydice in Jean Anouilh 's play of the same name, she was awarded the Molière Prize in 1991 as best young actress .
In 1995 Marceau wrote the semi-autobiographical short story Menteuse (Liar) and also tried her hand as a director . Her debut with Parlez-moi d'amour was recognized as best directorial work at the World Film Festival in Montreal in 2002. In 2012 she was chosen as the model for the bust of the French national symbol Marianne .
