Virginie Ledoyen was born, November 15th,
1976 in Aubervilliers, France, the daughter of Bernard, a
salesman and Olga, a restauranteur. 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. Obviously her talents
had been recognized early on.
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. Virginie's
parents are divorced and her mother remarried. Virginie has
a brother, Michel.
