Biography:An international star of extraordinary, almost otherworldly beauty, French actress "Juliette Binoche" was born March 9, 1964, in Paris. The daughter of a sculptor/theater director and an actress, Binoche studied acting at the National School of Dramatic Art of Paris. After graduation, she followed in her mother's footsteps and became a stage actress, occasionally taking small parts in French feature films. Binoche first earned recognition in 1985 for playing a modernized, teenaged version of the Virgin Mary in Jean-Luc Godard's controversial "Je Vous Salue, Marie" ("Hail Mary"). The actress became a bona fide French star the same year with an acclaimed performance in "André Téchiné"'s "Rendez-Vous". Though she was the darling of the 1985 Cannes Film Festival, Binoche did not gain true international acclaim until she played Tereza in Philip Kaufman's The Unbearable Lightness of Being in 1988.
