Isabelle Huppert

She was born in Paris and was encouraged by her mother to begin acting at a young age. Huppert later attended the Conservatory of Versailles where she won a prize for her acting. After a successful stage career, she began making movies, debuting in 1972 with Faustine et le bel été (She had made a television debut the year before).

She made her American debut in the disastrous 1980 film Heaven's Gate, but returned to France with great success.
