Julie Delpy - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

Delpy gained international celebrity after starring in the 1991 film Europa Europa, with her portrayal of a pro-Nazi girl, Leni, who falls in love with the hero, Solomon Perek, not knowing that he is Jewish. Delpy was subsequently offered to appear in several Hollywood and European films. In 1993, she was cast by director Krzysztof KieÊlowski to play the female lead in Three Colors: White, the second film of KieÊlowski's Three Colors Trilogy; Delpy also appeared in the other films in the series, albeit in smaller sized roles. Delpy, who has had an interest in a career as a film director since her childhood, enrolled in a summer directing course at New York University; she made her directorial debut in 1995, with a short film entitled Looking for Jimmy, which she also wrote and produced. Delpy may be best known in the United States for her co-starring role with Ethan Hawke in director Richard Linklater's 1995 film, Before Sunrise. The film received glowing reviews [1] and was considered one of the most interesting films of the independent film movement of the 1990s. Its success led to the casting of Delpy in the 1997 American film, An American Werewolf in Paris, which was generally considered a disappointment by critics.
