Born June 27, 1955 in Paris, Isabelle Adjani grew up in an HLM in Gennevilliers with his parents and his brother (who died in 2010 of cancer). His father is a mechanic, his mother does cleaning. “Already very small, I had a very strong detestation for the place where I lived, a suburban HLM facing a landscape of wasteland, she remembers in the columns of Psychologies Magazine. As a child, I already knew that it was not going to be my whole life.” She made her film debut at just 14 years old, in the children’s film The Little Bougnat. It was the start of her career, since she appeared two years later in Faustina and the Beautiful Summer, alongside several other now well-known faces, such as Francis Huster, Jacques Weber and Isabelle Huppert. She was only 17 when she joined the Comédie-Française.
