| Biography |
It is with... Turckheim, charming Alsatian village, that saw the day the baronne Anne-Charlotte de Turckheim, April 5, 1955, in a family of noble Protestants. But that which is very quickly made call Charlotte very short is rebellious with the noble cause. Teenager, one can see it selling fringues with the chips instead of revising her vat, which goes extremely against the family resolutions which saw it very well becoming doctor. Installed in Paris to carry out a more whimsical life to it, it chooses to become actress and appears for the first time on large screen by being maliciously made trucider in a film of ultra-cheap horror, the night of death. But the gore, it is not its crenel: Is Charlotte funny, comic of which fairness and pulposity (that is said?) involve illico in the register of the freed comedy. Initially with last films of Splendid (it is in particular the mistress of Christian Clavier in When you are freed, make me signs), then at the sides of Coluche in the schoolmaster and even Jerry Lewis in the celestial nanar which east Retenez me... or I make a misfortune. Charlotte incarne also a very beautiful Madam de Cambremer in a love of Swann, and an extraordinary aristocrat counter-revolutionary in Chouans!

The triumph is such as the transposition with the cinema does not delay, under the top patronnage of Claude Berri, allured by the project. One day in my mother will not gain the success of the part, acid and volcanic, but remains pleasant divertissmenent. Rarer on the screens starting from the middle of the Nineties, even if one sees it in two films of the tandem Merchant-Ivory (Jefferson in Paris and the owner - ah, always this famous profile), Charlotte sticks of advantage to the scene, where it gives one following "One day in my mother", entitled "My day with me". And then in 1998, it carries out its first (and single to date) full-length film, My father, my mother, my brothers and my sisters, a comedy around the recomposed family turned in a Mexican vacation village. Since, having left Paris for Barcelona where it settled with ssa small family, one has it right sight with tele in the series "Madam the headmaster", precisely in the role of the aforementioned headmaster, and a telefilm, "Y does not have an age to like", before this very opposite Sexes where the actress composes a delirious character of cruncher of men without scruples. That while preparing the turning a new ambitious length, the savage, in whom it would see well Guillaume Canet in the principal role. |
