Virginie Ledoyen was born, November 15th, 1976 in Aubervilliers, France. Her father is described as a 'businessman' and her mother a restaurant manager. It has been said that she inherited her unusual eyes from her Spanish grandparents. Virginie was in the spotlight at a early age as she got her first modeling job at the age of 2 and made several adds at the age of 3 including adds for Bledina, Buitoni and Air Inter.
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 the age of 11 she had also acted on stage as well. Obviously her talents had been recognized early on. This was clear as the first award she received was for the best young comedian at the1993 Beziers Film Festival
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. She was later nominated for the 1995 Césars ( French Awards) for Cold Water. 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.
When she isn't acting, Viriginie loves to read. She is also heavily involved with an organization called 'Pour le Tibet' which provides medical aid to Tibeten centers. |
