Guilaine Londez
Born on March 14, 1965, in Saint-Gilles, France, Guilaine Londez is a versatile and prolific actress who has become a fixture of French cinema and theater over a career spanning more than thirty years. She began her formal training at the Conservatoire de Montpellier and later attended the École de la Comédie de Saint-Étienne before making a striking screen debut as the lead in Chantal Akerman’s Night and Day (1991). While she has demonstrated immense range in dramas like Paul Verhoeven's Benedetta (2021), where she played Sister Jacopa, she is perhaps most recognized by the public for her impeccable comedic timing in popular hits such as Happiness Is in the Field (1995), Liberté-Oléron (2001), and Back to Mom's (2016). Her theatrical pedigree is equally impressive; she was nominated for a Molière Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in L'Hiver sous la table (2004), directed by Zabou Breitman. In 2024 and 2025, her career remains highly active with prominent roles in the pastoral drama Shepherds (Bergers), the family saga La Fille d'un grand amour as Éliane, and the upcoming political comedy Fils de.
