French cinema includes many talented actors, directors, screenwriters, whose names are well known to everyone. But there are those like Josiane Balasco, whose contribution to French cinema is great, but many have not heard of it outside of France.
Biography
The actress was born on April 15, 1950 in Paris. Her mother was French, her father is a Bosnian Croat. The real name of the actress is Balaskovich, but for the stage, she shortened it a little in the usual French way.
As a child, Balasco was creative and versatile. She studied at the school of graphic art, hoping that she would connect her life with art. A little later, she wrote her first fantastic stories. And in her teens, she became interested in theater and enrolled in Tanya Balashova's mastery courses.
Career
Josiane Balasco, whose filmography includes a huge number of films, in the past decided that she would follow in the footsteps of a screenwriter and director. The reason for this was a non-standard appearance for that time. Although Josian herself says that it was soberly assessing her chances in the acting environment, she was now able to be where she is.
Improving herself as a screenwriter paid off, and soon she became a co-author of the script with the famous Jean-Marie Poiret and Jean-Lou Hubert.
She alone, despite the fact that the actress, in her words, is an anti-sex symbol, fits into the Splendid acting group and plays the role of a simple girl with ordinary everyday problems. The comedy “Tanned” with the continuation of “Tanned skiing”, as well as “Santa Claus - Fucker” became a breakthrough for her actress in her career. Her heroines were usually comic or ironic in color.
But Josiane Balasco did not want to become only an actress, therefore, at the same time as the filming, she plays plays and writes scripts.
Having tried herself as a director, Balasco got a taste and started making films. Social comedies teach and show human errors. “French Twist”, “Cursed Lawn”, “Zavarushka”, “My Life Is Hell”, “Client of French Gigolo” - films are not just about life, but about everything that was customary to be silent in the cinema. In many of her films, Josiane played a major role.
Personal life
In the 80s, the actress has already become famous in wide circles. This time was a breakthrough not only in the career of Josiane Balasco. The personal life of the actress also became much better. In 1983, she gave birth to a daughter Marilla from the famous French sculptor Philippe Berry. Creative genes did not leave hope for a “normal” future, and, indeed, at present Marilyu Berry is a well-known actress, acting in diverse films. Moreover, the young actress tried herself as a screenwriter and director in the comedy "Accidentally Pregnant", in which, like her mother, she played a major role.
In addition to his daughter, Josiane Balasco has an adopted son.
In 1999, the actress divorced Berry. A few years later, in 2003, she married actor Georges Aguilar. He can be seen in several films: “The Ex-Woman of My Life, ” “Client of the French Gigolo, ” “Nenette, ” filmed by Josiane Balasco. Photos of a happy couple you can see below.
