Replace this image with an actor photoJulie Delpy mini-bio:flixster.actor.pane.162684896 - flixsterJulie Delpy is a French/American actress, director,Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, and occasional singer. She studied filmmaking at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, and has directed, written, and acted in more than 30 films.

Known for both her blonde, ethereal beauty and her considerable talent, Julie Delpy is one of the most popular French actresses of her generation. Born to show business parents in Paris on December 21, 1969, Delpy was discovered at age 14 by director Jean-Luc Goddard, who cast her in his 1985 Détective. The young actress had her first starring role two years later as the title character in Bertrand Tavenier's La Passion Beatrice, and then gained worldwide prominence with her portrayal of a young pro-Nazi eager to produce babies for the Fuhrer in Agneiszka Holland'sEuropa, Europa (1991).

Subsequent efforts to make Delpy a mainstream Hollywood actress in such films flixster.actor.pane.162684896 - flixsteras The Three Muskateers (1993) were largely resisted by Delpy herself, who demonstrated a preference for appearing in the small, thought-provoking films best appreciated at cinema festivals. She made some of her more memorable appearances in Killing Zoe (1994), which cast her as a kind-hearted prostitute; Kryzysztof Kieslowski's Trois Couleurs: Blanc (1994), in which she played a young woman who divorces her hairdresser husband because of his impotency; and Richard Linklaters'sBefore Sunrise (1995), in which she gave an excessively charming portrayal of a woman who has a 24-hour romance with a young American (Ethan Hawke) she meets on a train.

Delpy continued to be most visible in small, quirky films, as evidenced by her roles in L.A Without a Map (1998), andBut I'm A Cheerleader (1999), the latter of which -- a comedy about a rehab house for gay and lesbian teens -- cast her as a lipstick lesbian. In addition to the steady stream of parts in little-seen independent films, Delpy took on a recurring role on the hit NBC medical drama ER in 2001.

In 2004, Delpy reteamed with Linklater and Hawke for the sequel Before Sunset, a film the three are also credited with writing together.

flixster.actor.pane.162684896 - flixsterIn 2007, she starred alongside Adam Goldberg in the comedy '2 days in Paris', a movie which she also wrote and directed. In her latest role (The Countess, 2009) she plays Erzebet Bathory, A 17th century Hungarian countess who embarks on a murderous undertaking with the belief that bathing in the blood of virgins will preserve her beauty.

She is currently dating the Austrian guitarist Markus Streitenberg, who has worked on movies such as the Lion King. The couple welcomed son Leo in February 2009.

    Her performances in the Before Sunset/Sunrise films are fantastic. So natural; no need for accents or breakdowns. Take note, Miss Berry.

    When I saw the movie "Before Sunrise", Julie Delpy was an actress I had yet to see (as far as I know) on screen.
    Watching her performance in this film was so enjoyable and I think she and Ethan had great chemistry.

    The train scene where they talk about their childhood was so neat, so original. This film is the romantic film.

    Julie is fabulous and oh so desirable - those two "risque" shots are so original and so appealing in their way. She is desirable and sexy in a way that nobody else could be not Lindsay, Paris, Hayden or any of the other "hot women".

    TALENT?? What the hell movie have you seen? She's a mouth-breathing Neanderthal who has never created a character that isn't Julie Delpy.
