Isabelle Huppert has been a star for over 40 years, carving out a career of remarkable style and unusual daring. Born in a comfortable Parisian suburb, she made her acting debut as a teenager in the early 1970s, going on to work with the likes of Maurice Pialat, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, Claire Denis, Mia Hansen-Løve, and Paul Verhoeven in France and Márta Mészáros, Aleksandar Petrović, Mauro Bolognini, and Hong Sang-soo abroad.
Now, at 71, she’s due to take on the prestigious role of jury president at the Venice Film Festival. Ahead of opening night, scroll on for some fabulous old photos of one of France’s greatest—and most enduring—talents.
