In France, her nickname is La Légende. Elsewhere, she’s known as The Look, a moniker given to her early on during her 50-year career for a seductive yet piercing and defiantly cool gaze. On film, this Paris-based actress — who’s worked with Luchino Visconti, Lars von Trier, Woody Allen and Sidney Lumet — has played everything from a concentration-camp inmate and a noir femme fatale to a neurotic ex (courtesy Allen, of course) and a bourgeois wife who has an affair with a chimp. She’s a fashion icon, who’s both received the Légion d’Honneur and been named Officer of the Order of the British Empire. She was the first to pose nude for lensman Helmut Newton. And, oh, she was initially discovered and scouted on the streets of London — for a Cadbury chocolate ad.
Charlotte Rampling’s life and career doesn’t follow any tidy narrative; it’s one surprise turn after another. Born on February 5th, she’s an Aquarian and Aquarians are rebels, ruled by unpredictable Uranus. They’re adventurers, independents and, as astrology expert Susie Cox writes, “the bohemians of the world and [they] pride themselves on being different.” Which sounds about right for the magnetic and still beautifully captivating Rampling, currently playing a lawyer on UK drama Broadchurch. “”Ever since I was a small child,” she told The Guardian in 2011, “I’ve had this feeling — it’s in my nature, and so it’s not even pretentious — that if everyone’s going one way I will go the other, just by some kind of spirit of defiance.”
