Mélanie Thierry

Mélanie Thierry interests me because she keeps widening her own boundaries. A French actress born in 1981 who began as a model, she has since moved into directing and screenwriting, refusing to be only the face on screen. Her 2010 César for Best Female Revelation and her Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres signal serious recognition, but what I respect more is the appetite to create rather than just perform. At a compact 163 cm she commands the frame, and I suspect her most interesting work comes from that restless desire to control the whole story.
