Anne Sinclair (born Anne-Élise Schwartz, b. July 1948) is an American-born French television and radio interviewer.
On TF1, the most popular political show on the radio, she hosted one of the most popular political shows for more than thirteen years.
She is the heiress to a substantial amount of her maternal grandfather, Paul Rosenberg's fortune.
She worked with Le Journal du Dimanche and the French television network Canal+ during the 2008 US presidential election.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a French politician, married her in 1991 and divorced him in 2013 in the aftermath of the Strauss-Kahn case in New York.
She was seen in the 2014 film Welcome to New York.
Early life and education
Anne-Elise Schwartz, born in New York in 1948, was married to Joseph-Robert Schwartz (changed to Sinclair in 1949), and Micheline Nanette Rosenberg. She is the maternal granddaughter of Paul Rosenberg, one of France's and later New York's top art dealers, and later New York's top art dealers, owing to her mother. Both of her parents were French-born Jews who had married prewar and who, with Paul Rosenberg and his wife, had fled the Nazi persecution of Jews following the 1940 Nazi invasion of France.
The family returned to France a few years after she was born. She went to Cours Hattemer, a private school. At the University of Paris, she worked in politics and in law.
Personal life
Ivan Leva, a French writer with two children, was Sinclair's first husband, who has two children.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, an economist, politician, and the International Monetary Fund's managing director from 1991 to 2011 was married. In August 2012, she broke from Strauss-Kahn due to his sexual affairs with other women. During his hearing, it was discovered that the couple owned homes in Place des Vosges, Washington, D.C.; and a house inside a hotel in Marrakesh, Morocco. In March 2013, the couple divorced.
Sinclair has been living with French historian Pierre Nora since the separation from Strauss-Kahn.
In 2014, she returned to public life with a memoir of her grandfather, My Grandfather's Gallery.
Career
Sinclair's first radio broadcasting job was with Europe 1, one of the world's top national radio networks.
She hosted 7/7, a weekly news and political show on TF1 that attracted one of France's largest audiences from 1984 to 1997. She became one of the country's top journalists and gathered more than 3,000 interviews in the course of the show's thirteen-year tenure.
Every Sunday at 7 p.m., Sinclair conducted a one-hour interview with a well-known French or international celebrity. During the first gulf war and Prince Charles, she interviewed French president François Mitterrand and Nicolas Sarkozy, as well as US President Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev, Shimon Peres, Felipe González, German chancellors Helmut Kohl and Gerhard Schröder, King Hassan II of Morocco, and German chancellors during the first gulf war and Prince Charles.
Madonna, Sharon Stone, Paul McCartney, Woody Allen, and George Soros were among her show's guests, although primarily focusing on politics. She conducted interviews with French cultural figures, including Johnny Hallyday, Alain Delon, Yves Montand, Simone Signoret, Bernard-Henri Lévy, and Elie Wiesel.
Sinclair received three d'Ors, the French equivalent of the Emmy Awards.
When her husband Dominique Strauss-Kahn became French finance minister in 1997, she decided to leave the show to avoid conflict of interest. She then founded an internet subsidiary company for her former employer TF1 and ran it for four years before returning to journalism. Libre Cours (Free Rein) on France Inter, the French equivalent of NPR, was launched in 2003.
She has also written bestsellers on politics: Deux ou trois choses que vous sais d'eux (Grasset, 1997) and Caméra Subjective (Grasset, 2003).
In October 2008, she launched Two or three things from America, a blog that offers daily updates on both US and international political affairs. It has become one of the top-ranked political blogs in France. Her book on her grandfather was published in 2012 (21 Rue La Boétie), and she is currently in charge of the French version of the Huffington Post. Farrar, Straus and Giroux will publish My Grandfather's Gallery in September 2014.
