Biography
Isabelle Huppert is an actress. She is well known in the world of art house film and throughout Europe. She has appeared in many films and stage productions. She was also won the BAFTA Film Award and the Cesar Award (the French equivalent of the American Academy Award)
Isabelle Huppert was born in Paris, France in the year 1953. Her birthday is the sixteenth of March. She grew up in Ville d'Avray. As a young woman she attended the Conservatory of Versailles and won a prize for a performance in Alfred de Musset's "Un caprice". Isabelle Huppert then became well known as a theatrical actress appearing in plays such as Euripedes' "Medea" and Ivan Turgenev's "A Month in the Country".
In the early seventies, Isabelle Huppert started appearing in films. She has since performed in many of the most critically acclaimed films of her generation, including Jean-Luc Godard's "Sauve qui peut (la vie)", Claude Goretta's "Dentelliere", and Maurice Pialat's "Loulou". The first American film she appeared in was "Heaven's Gate", a Western released in 1980 that failed to make an impact (though it was later well reviewed). As a result she is not well known in America apart from fans of art house films.
Other films that Isabelle Huppert has appeared in include "Cesar et Rosalie", "Les Valseuses", "The Judge and the Assassin", "Violette Noziere", "Coup de torchon", "Coup de foudre", "Une affaire de femmes", "Madame Bovary", "La separation", "Amateur", "La Ceremonie", "La pianiste", "Saint-Cyr", "Deux", "8 femmes" and "I ?
