Biography for Anne Parillaud Height 5' 6¼" (1.68 m) Mini biography Anne Parillaud was born in Paris, France on May 6, 1960, and even though all her travels took her to many lands, is still a Paris resident. Anne studied ballet in school, and her first appearance was in the film Un amour de sable (1977) where she played "La jeune fille avec un petit chat" ("The girl with a kitten"). However, her first real role was as Estelle in Hôtel de la plage, L' (1978), and even though she had only appeared in this film during summer vacation, by then she had caught the show biz bug. Anne was in 8 other films, and then she gave her breakout performance in her signature role as Nikita in the wildly popular Nikita (1990), aka "La Femme Nikita" (1991) (USA), which spun off the American remake "Point of No Return" (1993) starring Bridget Fonda, and the USA TV series "La Femme Nikita" (1997) starring Peta Wilson. Anne had taken judo lessons for 3 months to prepare for this part. Anne said that when acting, she can abandon herself; indeed the character Nikita is nothing like her. Anne hates guns and even said of Nikita: "For a while she was in me like a demon." When it comes to which films and directors to work with, Anne has her one rule: it must touch her heart. Obviously director Luc Besson touched her heart, they had a daughter together, but the couple separated shortly after "Nikita"; (in 1997, Besson was briefly married to Milla Jovovich, but they divorced). Anne traveled to America to do several films, including Innocent Blood (1992), in which she plays a French vampire. She said of her character Marie, that she wasn't born a vampire, didn't decide to be one; in that sense, the movie is a parable about dealing with the problem of being different in society. And difference equates to loneliness. Anne is still busy appearing in movies. Offscreen, Anne enjoys simple pleasures such as dancing, and talking with friends. And she is always led by her heart, Anne says she is someone who lives by impulse first. Her many fans would say it seems she has made a lot of right choices Click on thumb to view full-size pic.
