Vanessa Paradis : biography

22 December 1972 –

2005 for Vanessa was marked with a project, which wasn’t realized. Vanessa should play Dulcinea and Johnny Depp – Sancho Panza in Terry Gilliam’s film “The man, who killed Don Quijote”, but shootings didn’t take place because of many problems, which literally haunted the shooting team. Probably, this failure influenced on Vanessa’s decision to leave cinema. In September of 2007 she recorded a new album “Divine Idylle”, which was full of optimism and joy. In a song “Jackadi” from this album a five year old Jack Depp’s voice can be heard, and the cover for the album was made by his father. Vanessa went on a tour to support the album – she performed in Belgium, France and several other counties. In autumn of 2008 Vanessa Paradis’ song “Dis que j’te vois” and a video on it were nominated for “World Music Awards”. She didn’t manage to win, but, as always, considered this fact philosophically. Her pride and sense of life was family, which Johnny and Vanessa carefully protected, they even didn’t allow journalists to photograph their children.

In 2010 a new film with Vanessa Paradis in a main role appeared – it was a comedy “Heartbreaker” about family business, the first full-length film of a director Pascal Chaumeil. Vanessa Paradis was nominated for “Crystal globe” for playing in this film. In November of 2010 a disc with episodes from TV programs and concerts of 1987-2007 with Vanessa Paradis appeared. As the singer says, this disc was a possibility to remember the beginning of her career, but young Vanessa, restrained and constrained, didn’t impress adult Vanessa.

In 2011 Vanessa Paradis presented her admirers two wonderful roles – Lucille in “A Monster in Paris” and Jacqueline in “Café de Flore”. In 2012 three films with this actress appeared: “Dubai Flamingo”, “Je me suis fait tout petit” and “Cornoualles”. But family life became worse – a star couple, which was considered to be the ideal among other Hollywood families, broke up. Speculations about Vanessa and Johnny’s scandals were wandering for a long time, and in March of 2012 this information was officially confirmed in a magazine “People”. This family’s crisis began in April of 2011, when Vanessa saw her “pirate of the Caribbean sea”, kissing another woman on the cover of a film. But neither Johnny, nor Vanessa wanted to comment all that happening between them.

Vanessa Paradis was called slut and angel. She is superstitious and very charming. She played with legends of French cinema and charmed one of the sexiest men of the world. She sings beautiful songs and played in films, which are worth seeing attentively. There is no doubt that Vanessa Paradis’ many-sided talent will impress her admirers for many times.
