Early-life:
Born March 9, 1964, in Paris. She has Polish, Flemish, Brazilian and Moroccan ancestry. Her father is a sculptor, actor and director, her mother a teacher, director and actress. Following their divorce, she and her sister Marion were sent to boarding school. She first acted in amateur stage productions, and began appearing professionally while still studying at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts of Paris, initially in the theatre.
Career:
Binoche's first film was Liberty Belle in 1983. She then decided to concentrate on the cinema rather than the stage, and quickly became a major star in France. Her first English-speaking role came three years later in An Unbearable Lightness of Being. Despite offers of work, she turned her back on an international career to return home. She's continued to appear in both international and French projects. Among the highlights are The English Patient (for which she won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar), Hidden, Three Colours: Blue, Chocolat, Breaking and Entering and Dan in Real Life.
Quote:
'Movies are open doors, and at every door, I change character and life... I live for the present always. I accept this risk. I don't deny the past, but it's a page to turn.'

Binoche has also appeared on stage in both New York and London.
