A first
Binoche became the first actress to claim the European best actress triple crown when she won at Cannes in 2010. Her earlier honors were Best Actress at Venice for Three Colors: Blue and at Berlin for The English Patient, with Certified Copy bringing the Cannes prize.
Big break
Binoche became a leading actress in 1985 through her part in André Téchiné's Rendez-vous. She took the role at short notice after Sandrine Bonnaire left the film over a scheduling conflict.
Early training
Binoche enrolled at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique, but her dislike of the curriculum led her to leave soon after. She later began lessons with acting coach Vera Gregh.
A role that slipped away
Binoche was released from Claude Berri's Lucie Aubrac six weeks into the shoot over differences about the authenticity of his script, an event she called like an earthquake to her.
