Famous Quote: “I am very proud to be French. I’m very conscious of carrying my country with me wherever I go. I feel I need to represent it well. And you wouldn’t believe what a small world it is because everyone seems to know that I was a Playmate. You wouldn’t be scared of me, would you, I don’t have any movies planned. It’s hard to make movies today. They have all changed to action and violence. That’s not my style.”

Biography:  Emmanuelle Beart (born August 14, 1963) is a French film actress. This alluring French lead made her initial US impact with a touching portrayal of Manon Cadoret, the surviving daughter of Gerard Depardieu, in Claude Berri’s film of love and revenge, “Manon des sources” (1986), which was adapted from Marcel Pagnol’s original story. Beart’s career began with a small turn in the French science-fiction film “Tomorrow’s Children” (1976). 

At age 15, she moved to Canada where she worked as an au pair and learned English. Beart moved back to France and began working regularly in both films and TV, returning to features with “L’Enfant Trouve” (1983). Beart made her American film debut with the uneven romantic-comedy “Date With an Angel” (1987) and became the center of attention when she was cast as Marianne, the nude artist model, in Jacques Rivette’s controversial, engrossing meditation, “La Belle Noiseuse” (1991). She followed up superbly with “Un Coeur en hiver” (1993), the Claude Sautet story of a love triangle set in the world of classical music and reteamed with the same director for 1995′s “Nelly and M. Arnaud”. Beart scored an international hit when she was cast opposite Tom Cruise in the female lead in Brian De Palma’s big screen version of “Mission Impossible” (1996). 

Emmanuelle Beart is the daughter of french singer and poet Guy Bיart and Italian-Greek mother, Geneviטve Galea. She was born on the 14 August 1965 in St. Tropez, France. After her parents divorce she was raised by her mother in a remote mountain village in provence with her three brothers and her sister . As a teenager, left for Montreal. There she, apparently, met Robert Altman who encouraged her to become an actress. Although she even took a screen test for him, nothing came of it. She then attended a drama school in paris before being cast in Premiers dיsirs three months later. She first became well known in Manon des Sources the sequel to Jean de Florette when she won Best Supporting Actress. 

Beart obtained an acting role in the 1976 film Tomorrow’s Children. In her teens she appeared in bit parts in television then went to Montreal, Canada to work as a nanny before returning to France the following year to attend drama school in Paris. A short time later she was cast in her first adult role in a film, and in 1986 she achieved fame with her role opposite Yves Montand, in the film Manon des Sources. For her performance, she won the 1987 César Award for “Best Supporting Actress”. Emmanuelle Beart has risen to great national and international fame as an actress not merely because of her beauty, she is also capable of deep emotional empathy with the character she is playing. 

Like many actresses she spends a long time preparing her characters, in Un Coeur en Hiver for instance she apparently practiced the violin every day for eighteen months. Emmanuelle Beart had a long relationship with Daniel Auteuil, her co-star in several films. She has a daughter, Nelly (born April 18th 1992), by Auteuil, and a young son Johan (born March 1996) by her current boyfriend David Moreau (the half-brother of French actor Patrick Bruel). But she says her children will not interfere with her acting career. 

She also won a “Best Actress” award at the Moscow International Film Festival for her starring role in the 1995 film, A French Woman. In 2003, Béart, aged 40, appeared nude on the front cover of French magazine Elle and as of 2007, it is still the magazine’s biggest-selling issue ever.

Beart was born Emmanuelle Béhart-Hasson in St. Tropez, on the French Riviera, the daughter of Geneviève Galéa, a homemaker and former model, and Guy Béart, a singer and poet. Beart’s mother is of Greek, Maltese, and Italian descent, and her father is of Spanish, Swiss, and Russian ancestry. After a ten-year relationship with Daniel Auteuil (her co-star in Manon of the Spring, A French Woman and A Heart in Winter), she divorced him and re-married.

In addition to her screen work, Béart is also known for her social activism. She is an ambassador for UNICEF, and has made news for her opposition to France’s anti-immigration legislation. In 1996, she made headlines when, defending the rights of the “sans-papiers” (illegal immigrants), she was forcibly removed after her group’s occupation of a Paris church.
