Biography
Mélanie Laurent is a French actress, filmmaker, and singer born on February 21, 1983. She began acting at sixteen when Gérard Depardieu cast her in the 1999 romantic drama The Bridge. Her early French work—including the comedy Dikkenek (2006)—earned her recognition and the Étoiles d'Or for Best Female Newcomer. Her breakthrough came with the 2006 drama Don't Worry, I'm Fine, which won her the César Award for Most Promising Actress and the Prix Romy Schneider.
Laurent's 2009 Hollywood debut as Shosanna Dreyfus in Inglourious Basterds was her signature role, earning her Best Actress nods from the Online Film Critics Society and Austin Film Critics Association. Since then, she has balanced independent cinema—Paris (2008), Enemy (2013)—with larger international productions: the drama Beginners (2011), the heist film Now You See Me (2013), and Chris Weitz's 2018 Operation Finale about the capture of Nazi Adolf Eichmann. She also voiced characters in the French dubs of the animated films Epic (2013) and Inside Out (2015).
Beyond acting, Laurent has built a significant career behind the camera and on stage. Her directorial debut, the short De moins en moins, premiered in 2008; her feature directorial debut, The Adopted, came in 2011. Her second feature as director, Respire (2014), screened in the Critics' Week section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. She made her singing debut with the studio album En t'attendant (Waiting For You) in 2011. As a screenwriter and actor, Laurent has received two César Awards and a Lumière Award for her contributions to French cinema. A Pisces born in 1983, with a Life Path number of 8, she channels her natural creative intuition into multidisciplinary storytelling.
