JUDITH GODRECHE
Born: Mar 23, 1972
Paris, France
A presence in the French cinema since she appeared in Nadine Trintignant's L'Été prochain (1985) at the age of 13, Judith Godreche has made something of a reputation for herself starring in films in which she nearly always plays a woman involved with a much older man.
LOOKS MORE FRENCH THAN SHE SOUNDS: "I always felt like a stranger in my country. I always felt like, One day, I'll go away and have a different life somewhere else." A very American-sounding philosophy from someone who simply could not look more French, with her fragile beauty and deep, candid eyes. Godreche's grandparents, Russian Jews, moved to France to escape the Nazis. Now Godreche, twenty-six, has moved to L. A. to escape her celebrity in France, which blossomed after her performance in 1996 in Ridicule. Her big break here, though, was in 1998's The Man in the Iron Mask, as Leo's belle. But she has not given herself over entirely to the cultural imperialists. She has already published her first novel, Point de Côté, in France
