Born
Sophie Danièle Sylvie Maupu in Paris, France, at the age of 14 she played in the teenager movie

Andrzej Zulawski:
L'Amour braque (1985), Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours (1989), La Note bleue (1991) and La Fidélité (2000).
Marceau rose to international stardom playing the part of Princess Isabelle in Mel Gibson's epic Braveheart
(1995). Following this success, she appeared in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999), and as a Bond girl in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999).
