Virginie Ledoyen was born, November
15th, 1976 in Aubervilliers, France, the daughter of Bernard, a salesman
and Olga, a restauranteur. Virginie's parents are now divorced and her
mother has remarried. Virginie has one brother, Michel, who is a
production assistant. It has been said that she inherited her unusual eyes
from her Spanish grandparents. Virginie got her first modeling job at age
2 and made several ads when she was only 3.
She was cast in her first film, an Italian comedy, at the age of 9 which
was also the year she was enrolled in a performing arts school. By 11
years old she had also acted on stage as well.
Virginie was about 15 years old when she realized that acting would be
something she wanted to pursue as an occupation and soon she had earned
enough money to get her own apartment. Her big break in the movies was in
1994 when, at the age of 17, she was in the film Cold Water in which she
played a troubled teen. This lead to even bigger things in the 1995 film
Single Girl which received critical acclaim. It was a surprise hit in
America, and the New York Times said, in reference to this film, that
Virginie had a "natural screen presence."
Following Single Girl, Virginie received calls from Hollywood including
Woody Allen's agent. Up till this point she had yet to make an American
movie though she was said to be a fan of Francis Ford Coppola and Stanley
Kubrick.
Virginie's biggest break in the American market came with the release of
The Beach in February 2000 and this is sure to lead to even bigger and
better opportunities.
When she isn't acting, Virginie loves to read. She is also heavily
involved with an organization called 'Pour le Tibet' which provides
medical aid to Tibeten centers.
In the fall of 2000, she signed a contract with L'Oréal, as a spokesmodel
with the cosmetics company. She was futured alongside two French
supermodels Laetitia Casta and Noémie Lenoir.
On 29 September 2001 she gave birth to her first child, a girl named Lilas
(meaning "Lilac" in French).
As of 20 September 2007 she is married to small time film director Iain
Rogers. |
