They so love beauty and they so love what they’re doing, they so love the actual art of filmmaking. I don’t think Fellini’s films or Visconti’s films ever made any money. It was so different from the way the English and the Americans were working, there was such passion.

She never quite felt comfortable in that world and thought she wasn’t very good at what she was doing. She has been seen on the covers of Vogue, Interview and Elle magazines and CRUSHfanzine. In 2009, she posed nude in front of the Mona Lisa for Juergen Teller.[24] In 2009, Rampling appeared in Todd Solondz's Life During Wartime.

Hannah’s director, Andrea Pallaoro, had always imagined Rampling in the part, and no wonder. “I think he wanted, more than anything, a presence,” she says. “He thought I was the only actress of my generation that could really hold this character.” There is barely any dialogue, and it goes through the monotony of Hannah’s days in painstaking detail.

Actress

Maybe that is when she looked directly at me for the first time; I’m not sure. I probably don’t remember, because even when she didn’t meet my gaze, she felt more present than most people. Eyes up or down, she smiled easily, especially when I mentioned one of her more obscure films, ‘‘Max Mon Amour,’’ in which she plays a diplomat’s wife having an affair with a chimpanzee. The story is a delightful evocation of blunt, innocent feeling up against the hard norms of human society. It’s something like the anti-‘‘King Kong,’’ for although attempts are made on Max’s life, in the end he’s riding through Paris on the top of the family car, being cheered by crowds. Part of her darkness came, no doubt, from the suicide of her sister Sarah at the age of 23.

She shared an apartment with Southcombe and Randall Lawrence, a male model. The inevitable “ménage à trois” label was used liberally by the press. They divorced in 1976 and two years later Rampling married the hugely successful French composer Jean-Michel Jarre. Tabloid stories of Jarre’s affairs with other women proved too demeaning for Rampling and the marriage was dissolved in 1997, their divorce finalized in 2002.

She married Southcombe and they had a son, Barnaby – now a film-maker, who directed Rampling in the movie I, Anna in 2012. Tessa Charlotte Rampling OBE (born 5 February 1946)[1] is an English actress.[2][3] An icon of the Swinging Sixties, she began her career as a model.[4] She was cast in the role of Meredith in the 1966 film Georgy Girl, which starred Lynn Redgrave. She soon began making French and Italian arthouse films, notably Luchino Visconti's The Damned (1969) and Liliana Cavani's The Night Porter (1974).

Film

Showing no signs of slowing down in her sixties, Rampling returned to modelling in 2014 when she was named brand ambassador for Nars Cosmetics, with founder Francois Nars describing her as “a natural beauty that feels strong, yet relatable”. Rampling’s silver screen career really took off in the Seventies and Eighties with films like The Night Porter and Woody Allen’s Stardust Memories. The brunette beauty soon landed her first major film role with Georgy Girl in 1966. Starring alongside Lynn Redgrave and Alan Bates, Rampling had a classic Sixties bouffant hairdo in the film.

Even earlier as a mere 14 year old, Rampling performed with her sister Sarah in their own cabaret act. Some reviewers attribute this ability to her mysterious, preternatural charisma and abiding beauty, and that is part of it. But it is also her actively focused talent for the natural representation of real people. We don’t notice how expressive ordinary people are unless we love them enough (or are frightened enough by them) to pay real attention. But everyone is uniquely expressive, even in the smallest gestures. We are so immersed in the parade of character in daily life that we don’t typically see this unless it startles us; we don’t have time to notice all the things that people are telling us.

Early life

In 2017, she won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 74th Venice International Film Festival for Hannah.[6] She received an Honorary César in 2001 and France's Legion of Honour in 2002. She was made an OBE in 2000 for her services to the arts, and received the 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award from the European Film Awards.

Born in Essex in 1946, Rampling began her career as a model when she was spotted by a casting agent while working as a secretary. The couple are preparing for their 45th-anniversary party when their comfortable existence is shattered. Geoff receives a letter from Switzerland informing him that the body of Katya, his girlfriend before Kate, had been found. Katya had died in a hiking accident on a glacier when they were on a holiday in 1962. Directed and adapted by Andrew Haigh (“Weekend”) from the short story “Another Country” by David Constantine, “45 Years” revolves around Kate and Geoff, a retired childless couple who live in the countryside in Norfolk with their dog.

Rampling has made over 110 films, partnering with an impressive list of male co-stars including Sean Connery, Peter O’Toole and Paul Newman. These movies were as diverse as Cleanskin, a terrorist thriller; The Mill and The Cross, in which she plays a nun; Street Dance; and Night Train to Lisbon. The film was screened at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival.

Rampling, who has never been nominated for an Academy Award, has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for her radiant performance. She recently received the European Film Award, and the Los Angeles film critics group awarded her its lead actress honor. “He could have a lot of skeletons coming out of the closet,” Rampling said, laughing. Rampling has been married twice and has two adult children. The film deliberately doesn’t let audiences know that much about Kate and Geoff’s history early in the film. “Andrew leaves so much to the imagination of the people watching,” noted Courtenay.

It is hard to imagine her being ruffled by anything. She needs a minute to put her bags down, she says, as she checks in at the hotel, then I should come up to her room and we can talk. She puts on her sunglasses and disappears into the lift. Click through the gallery above to discover why the Lifetime Achievement Award she received from the European Film Awards in 2015 was well deserved. Born on February 5, 1946, Charlotte Rampling became a fashion icon in the 60s. Her work in arthouse movies in England, France and Italy made her a star of European cinema.
