[edit] Early life
Sagnier was born in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, in the département of Yvelines; her mother is a retired secretary and her father is a professor of English at a Paris university.[1] She started taking acting classes at a young age and had her film debut at age 10 in Je veux rentrer a la maison and Les maris, les femmes, les amants.
[edit] Career
In 2001, she was named one of the Shooting Stars by European Film Promotion. Sagnier performed in two films in competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, La Petite Lili and Swimming Pool, both released in the same year. Also in 2003, she won the Prix Romy Schneider.
Sagnier has appeared nude in extended scenes in several films, including Swimming Pool, La Petite Lili, Water Drops on Burning Rocks, and Bon plan. Addressing this issue, Sagnier told Playboy: "I'm much more confident in front of a camera, hidden by a character, enhanced by makeup, so I can go much further than I can in real life. Sexual acting is painful, because even though you're pretending, you have the skin of the person in front of you, and it's not the skin you wish you had. After that, you run into the shower to get rid of everything".[2] She also starred in P. J. Hogan's 2003 adaptation of Peter Pan, as Tinkerbell.
In 2005, she recorded a series of introductions for Sky Movies. These included intros to films such as Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud, Swimming Pool, La Nina Santa, Zatoichi and The Barbarian Invasions. In the film Swimming Pool, Sagnier worked most of the movie in the nude. She appears topless for more than half of her appearances in Francois Ozon's English film.[3]. Sagnier herself stated that she enjoyed working in the nude so much so that: " Being naked is quite a natural thing" and she also admitted that she spends most of her time topless.[4]
On March 25, 2005, she gave birth to a daughter named Bonnie. The father is actor Nicolas Duvauchelle.
