Roxane Mesquida is a French actress born in
October 1 1981 inMarseille ,Bouches-du-Rhône ,France .She grew up in
Le Pradet though, a little town located betweenHyères andToulon in theVar "département".She was discovered at the age of 13, while walking on a road in her region, by the director
Manuel Pradal who was in the middle of the casting process for his movie "Marie Baie des Anges" (Mary from the Bay of Angels withVahina Giocante andEmmanuelle Béart ) at the time. She took part in the shooting during the next summer after their encounter.In 1998, she played in "L'École de la chair" by
Benoît Jacquot and crossed paths with the controversial director who would make her well-known and, according to Mesquida, who made her learn her craft:Catherine Breillat . First they collaborated in "À ma sœur!" (Fat girl), then in "Sex is comedy", and they worked together again during the spring of 2006 on "Une vieille Maîtresse" withAsia Argento .She wanted to go to Art School (the "
Beaux-Arts ") but finally abandoned the idea to pursue her career in acting. She is still passionate about the Arts and frequents museums. Her favourite painting is "The Scream" by Norwegian expressionist painterEdvard Munch which was stolen and lost until recently.Among actors of her generation, she admires
Romain Duris andScarlett Johansson but her absolute idol isRomy Schneider and she says she has seen all her movies.She says she is fiercely opposed to the idea of ever becoming financially dependent to "cinéma" and that she'd rather do baby-sitting than accept a role in a commercial movie she wouldn't like.
