Career:
In 1966, Rampling landed the role of Meredith in Georgy Girl, and hasn't looked back since. Many fans hoped she'd replace Diana Rigg in The Avengers following a spirited guest role in the show in 1967, but instead she tackled a number of difficult roles in challenging films, including The Damned, The Night Porter and Max Mon Amour. More mainstream projects have included Farewell My Lovely, Stardust Memories and The Verdict. Rampling has lived in France for some time and in recent years has concentrated on working there in such films as Swimming Pool and Heading South. However, she also cropped up in Basic Instinct 2 and The Duchess.
Quote:
"I generally don't make films to entertain people. I choose the parts that challenge me to break through my own barriers. To discover what normal means, you have to surf a tide of weirdness."
Trivia:
In 2000, she was awarded an OBE.
