Fanny Ardant Life

Fanny Marguerite Ardant (born 22 March 1949) is a French actress.

Since 1976, she has appeared in more than eighty motion pictures.

Ardant received the César Award for Best Actress in 1997 for her role in Pédale douce.

Early life

Ardant was born in Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France, to a military attaché father. She lived in Monaco until age 17, when she moved to Aix-en-Provence to study at the Institut des politiques d'Aix-en-Provence. She began twenties as an actor, and in 1974 she made her first appearance on stage.

Personal life

Fanny Ardant was the youngest of five children born to a cavalry officer and his wife. She was born in Monte Carlo, where she was educated at a convent academy. She discovered Proust at the age of 15 and felt as though her books were written for her.

When she was 27 years old, her father died but the shock of his death never stopped her. Ardant began on stage a little before his death. Following her father's death, she took her advice and went to university in Aix-en-Provence, where she studied Political Science. Following her graduation, she took up a job at the French Embassy in London, where she was sacked for inadequate time keeping and being dishevelled. The latter was attributed to London's social whirl.

Ardant continued teaching odd jobs in London before deciding to attend drama school on a whim. She returned to France for her studies and then began appearing on stage and then television before long. She was contacted by François Truffaut, who had noticed her in a television drama and wanted to cast her in The Woman Next Door at the age of 31. Ardant and Truffaut met in passion while working together, and in 1983, they gave birth to their daughter Josephine. Truffaut died a year later from a brain tumour.

Ardant signed a petition in support of filmmaker Roman Polanski, who had been arrested while touring a film festival in 1977 in protest against his 1977 sexual harassment allegations, which the petition stated, and that arresting filmmakers visiting non-knowing nations could open the door "for activities of which no one knows the effects."
