Isabelle Carré
Born on May 28, 1971, in Paris, Isabelle Carré is one of France's most respected and versatile actresses, celebrated for her ability to convey profound sensitivity and emotional depth. After a childhood spent in an aristocratic but complex family environment—marked by her father’s design career and her early passion for dance—she turned to acting following a difficult adolescence. She made her film debut in 1989 in Romuald et Juliette and rose to prominence with her first César nomination for Beau fixe (1992). Her career reached a pinnacle in 2003 when she won the César Award for Best Actress for her heartbreaking portrayal of an Alzheimer’s patient in Se souvenir des belles choses. A two-time Molière Award winner for her theater work, she is equally famous for her roles in Les Émotifs anonymes (2010), Marie Heurtin (2014), and as Yvonne de Gaulle in the biopic De Gaulle (2020). In 2025, she remains a powerhouse in the industry, starring as Ana in Agnès de Sacy's La Fille d'un grand amour and releasing her own directorial debut, Les Rêveurs (The Dreamers), based on her 2018 autobiographical novel.
