BIOGRAPHY

Virginie Ledoyen
	BIOGRAPHY | GALLERY | GOSSIP | BLOG

Virginie Ledoyen, born November 15, 1976, in Aubervilliers, France, is a French actress

Her father is described as a ‘businessman’ and her mother a restaurant manager. It has been said that Ledoyen inherited her unusual eyes from her Spanish grandparents. Virginie was in the spotlight at a early age as she got her first modeling job at the age of 2 and made several ads at the age of 3 including ads for Bledina, Buitoni and Air Inter.

Ledoyen 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. Outside of France, her best-known role is alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach (2000).

Ledoyen was later nominated for the 1995 Césars ( French Awards) for Cold Water. 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.”
