Ludivine Sagnier is a French actress and model, who has worked in 33 movies since 1989. She was nominated for two César Awards for Best Supporting Actress in Swimming Pool 2003 and Un secret 2007.

Career

In 2001, she was named one of the Shooting Stars by European Film Promotion. She was nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress in 8 Women (2002). Sagnier performed in two films in competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, La Petite Lili and Swimming Pool, both released in the same year. Also in 2003, she won the Prix Romy Schneider.
Sagnier has appeared completely nude in extended scenes in several films, including Water Drops on Burning Rocks, Bon plan (both released in 2000), and La Petite Lili. In the Francois Ozon's film Swimming Pool, Sagnier appears topless for more than half the film. Addressing this issue, Sagnier told Playboy:

"I'm much more confident in front of a camera, hidden by a character, enhanced by makeup, so I can go much further than I can in real life. Sexual acting is painful, because even though you're pretending, you have the skin of the person in front of you, and it's not the skin you wish you had. After that, you run into the shower to get rid of everything".

She also starred in P. J. Hogan's 2003 adaptation of Peter Pan, as Tinkerbell.
In 2005, she recorded a series of introductions for Sky Movies. These included intros to several films.
