EspañolISABELLE HUPPERT
'Isabelle Anne Huppert' (French IPA: ) (born March 16, 1955, Paris) is a French actress. She was raised in Ville d'Avray, a western suburb of Paris.
Huppert was encouraged by her mother to begin acting at a young age, and became a teenage star in Paris. She later attended the Conservatory of Versailles, at which she won a prize for her acting. After a successful stage career, she began making movies, debuting in 1972 with ''Faustine et le bel été''. (She had made a television debut the year before.) However it was her appearance in the controversial ''Les Valseuses'' (1974) that caused her to become known. She made her American debut in the Michael Cimino's 1980 film ''Heaven's Gate'', which flopped at the U.S. box office, but was re-released in the full version to great acclaim.
Huppert played a manic and homicidal post-office worker in Claude Chabrol's ''La Cérémonie'' (1995), with Sandrine Bonnaire. She also appeared in Michael Haneke's ''La Pianiste'' (2001), which is based on a novel of the same name (''Die Klavierspielerin'') by Austrian author and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2004, Elfriede Jelinek. In this film, she plays a piano teacher named Erika Kohut, who becomes involved with a young pianist and ladies' man, Walter Klemmer.
Huppert most recently appeared on the Paris stage as the suicidal Hedda Gabler, in Henrik Ibsen's play. Every performance was greeted with a standing ovation. In 2005, she toured the United States in a production of Sarah Kane's theatrical piece, ''4.48 Psychosis''. This production was directed by Claude Regy and performed in French. She chose to remain still throughout the entire performance, moving only her hands and face, much of the time with tears streaming down her cheeks.
In Europe and the art house world, Huppert is venerated as an institution. Her most recently received awards are for her participation in ''The Piano Teacher''. Huppert is also an alumna of the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art of Paris, CNSAD.
She has been nominated fourteen times (a record) for a César Award, winning it in 1996 for her work in ''La Cérémonie''.
She is one of only three women who have twice won Best Actress at the Cannes film festival: in 1978 for her role in Violette Noziere by Claude Chabrol (tied with Jill Clayburgh) and in 2001 for ''The Piano Teacher'' by Michael Haneke.
She is also one of only two women who have twice received the Coppa Volpi for Best Actress at the Venice film festival: in 1988 for her part in ''Une affaire de femmes'' (tied with Shirley Maclaine), and in 1995 for ''La Cérémonie'' (tied with her partner in the movie, Sandrine Bonnaire). Both films were directed by Claude Chabrol. Additionally, she received a Special Golden Lion in 2005 for her role in Gabrielle.
Huppert was twice voted Best Actress at the European Film Awards: in 2001 for playing Erika Kohut in ''The Piano Teacher'', and in 2002 with the entire cast of ''8 Women'' (directed by François Ozon). With the same cast, she won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the Berlin Film Festival. She won the Best Actress award at the Montréal World Film Festival (in 2002 for ''Merci pour le chocolat''), at the Moscow Film Festival (in 2005 for ''Madame Bovary''), at the Deutscher Filmpreis (in 1991 for ''Malina'') and twice at the David di Donatello (in 1978 for ''La Dentellière'' and in 2001 for ''The Piano Teacher'').
