She is a prize-winner of three César Awards : one for the best first movie (in 2005) and two as better actress (in 2005 and 2009)

In 1989 she joined Jérôme Deschamps and Macha Makeieff's troupe, of which she became one of the stars, especially with the TV programme, Les Deschiens. She played a concierge in the film Amélie and Mama Chow in Micmacs (both directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet), a mime in Paris, Je T'aime and a lovesick woman in Vagabond (Sans Toit, ni Loi, 1985) directed by Agnes Varda.
