Sibylle Blanc (born January 3, 1974[1] in Aubonne, Vaud) is a French speaking Swiss actress who is actively involved in theatrical, film, television and radio productions in her native Switzerland as well as in nearby France.
She recently co-hosted the morning show Les Matinales on a local Lausanne based radio station Lausanne FM[2] and appears frequently on television programs produced by the French Swiss national TV station, TSR.
Her first name is easily misspelt and she is sometimes wrongly credited as Sybille Blanc.[3]
Personal Life
Blanc is the daughter of Pierre-Alain Blanc who is the current mayor of Aubonne and a teacher of physical eduction. [4] Sport is important to her father who organises a triathlon in Aubonne every year.[5] As part of her fitness routine she regularly plays badminton with her father.[4]
She lives in a charming sixth floor apartment in a building without an elevator. "C'est pratique, j'ai trouvé un appartement avec fitness intégré! (It's practical, I've found an apartment with fitness built in!)" she said jokingly in an interview with Wladimir Bianchi[6] She first came across her apartment when she went there to read for her first professional theatrical role as Cordélia in King Lear. She fell in love with it immediately. Several years later she saw in a newspaper, next to an article about herself, an advertisement that the apartment was available.[6]
As well as fitness Blanc also takes her diet very seriously and eats primarily fruit and steamed vegetables and tries to drink two litres of tea every day.[4][1]
Career
Blanc studied dramatic arts at the Ecole Supérieure d'Art Dramatique (ESAD) in Geneva graduating in 1996. Early in her professional career she appeared on several children's TV programs produced by the TSR including Smash and Bus et compagnie.[7] Her first major role came with the TSR produced sitcom Template:FrBigoudi where she played Laura for 50 episodes from 1996 to 1998.
She has a tremendous ability to play a diverse range of roles which was brought out in her portrayal of the various female characters in Matt Cameron's play Ruby Moon and in the numerous comedy cabaret shows (La Revue 2000, Les nouvelles brèves de comptoir and La Revue de Cuche et Barbezat) which she has performed in. In the latter and in the musical Irma la Douce she was able to display her strong talent for singing and dancing. She has played numerous classical characters in plays by such authors as Shakespeare, Wilde, Miller, Beckett, and Pagnol as well as more modern roles in plays by authors such as Ruccello, Cameron and Dear. Blanc is fluent in both English and French and has even played an American in Hazanov's film Salade(s) Russe(s).
