Ludivine Sagnier (32) has made 33 films since her debut in 1989 (10 years old). She is today one of Frances most respected young actresses, and she has been nominated several prices in the last years. Sagnier has appeared nude in extended scenes in several films, including Water Drops on Burning Rocks, Bon plan (both released in 2000), and La Petite Lili. In the Francois Ozon‘s film Swimming Pool, and this was of course an issue when she was interviewed in Playboy. She says that she has more confident in front of the camera and hidden behind a character and can go a lot further, than she can in real life. I first noticed her in the sensual yet spooky thriller Swimming Pool against the fabulous Charlotte Rampling. Sagnier is talented, beautiful and sophisticated – as many of the great French actresses usually are. Photos: Ellen von Unwerth
