Carole Bouquet studied philosophy at the Sorbonne in Paris before making her film debut in
Luis Buñuel's
That Obscure Object of Desire. In a role shared with
Ángela Molina, she played Conchita, the title character who so intrigues leading man
Fernando Rey. The next year she appeared in
Bertrand Blier's black comedy
Buffet Froid (
Cold Cuts), starring
Gérard Depardieu. Mostly acting in her native France, North American audiences may remember her as Bond Girl Melina Havelock in
For Your Eyes Only. In 1990, she won a César for Best Actress as the scorned wife in
Blier's
Trop Belle Pour Toi (
Too Beautiful for You). Throughout the '90s, she was a spokesmodel for Chanel No. 5 perfume and appeared in numerous French films, including
Michel Blanc's
Grosse Fatigue (
Dead Tired) as a parody of herself. After 2000, she starred in some memorable French comedies, including
Wasabi with
Jean Reno and
Embrassez Qui Vous Voudrez with
Charlotte Rampling. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide
