In 2019, it was accounced that she would co-star in Denis Villeneuve's remake of "Dune" (2020). At the age of 69, actress Charlotte Rampling has been able to keep her street cred intact in both the film industry and the theatre. She’s worked with cinematic masters such as Luchino Visconti and Woody Allen, and is brave enough to bring Sylvia Plath’s poetry to life on stage (a performance that headlines at Toronto’s Luminato festival next week).
An intriguing gaze: Charlotte Rampling in 10 cult films
Given that her career has, in its own right, been extraordinary, I wonder how she feels about the idea of being a muse. “I think it’s a question of age, because when you’re much younger, you could be. Rampling has admitted that she doesn’t make films to entertain people, that she chooses roles to challenge herself, to break through her own barriers. I generally don’t make films to entertain people, I choose the parts that challenge me to break through my own barriers. A need to devour, punish, humiliate, or surrender seems to be a primal part of human nature, and it’s certainly a big part of sex.
Charlotte Rampling’s Unknowable Truth
She won many awards for her performance in "45 Years" - and now she might also get an Oscar. Here's a look back at a career characterized by mysterious sex appeal. Hers, in other words, is the story of a real-life heroine.
Found Photos: One Woman’s Love Affair With Her Married Boss
Having started acting in her teens, the British beauty’s career has spanned more than seven decades. During that time she’s adapted her looks to suit current trends, but has always stayed true to her personal style. We’re all vain, we’re all narcissistic, we don’t like to grow old. We are young at one stage and then we’re getting older as nature will have us. Those things should not even come into your horizon as an actor because if you sit back and say, “Oh I don’t want that role because I won’t look pretty,” then you’re not going to have much work coming your way.
During this time she was also a ground stewardess for Middle East Airlines. For the past 18 years they've lived on the Isle of Wight. Having won several awards for her performance in "45 Years," released in 2015, the graceful septuagenarian could be crowned once again at the upcoming Academy Awards on February 28, as she is nominated for Best Actress. Actress Charlotte Rampling turns 70 on February 5.

More recently in 2016, with actress Tilda Swinton, Rampling and Swinton appeared at MOMA in Paris as human easels, holding and interacting with portraits and landscapes by celebrated photographers such as Richard Avedon, Brassai and Irving Penn. This cerebral, thought-provoking exposition directed by Olivier Saillard, the director of the Palais Galliera, was the perfect vehicle for Rampling and Swinton’s unique looks and personas. Rampling’s father was a British army officer and consequently she spent many of her formative years in Gibraltar, France and Spain. Back in Britain, Rampling’s distinctive looks were soon recognized by a casting agent and she never looked back.
Charlotte Rampling turns 75 – this is her fashion and beauty evolution
We watch as her life begins to crack around her, but largely, that is it. It is so sparse that it makes the gorgeous 45 Years, for which she received her only Oscar nomination in 2016, look as action-packed as an Avengers movie. Her private life attracted as many headlines as her films. In the 60s she lived with her agent and partner, Bryan Southcombe, and their friend, the model Randall Laurence; there were rumours of a menage a trois, but she always denied it.
The after-party at the French macaron cafe Ladurée SoHo was low-key. Waiters circulated with sliders, plates of oversize French fries and movie tie-in cocktails by Lillet. The space was small, so it didn’t take more than a handful of people (models in cutout dresses, Ms. Young and the actors Hill Harper and Isiah Whitlock Jr.) to make it feel crowded. It is rare to find a mention of Rampling that does not refer to her credentials as a muse. She has been a muse to François Ozon, who revived her film career in the late 90s, to designer Yves St Laurent and photographers Helmut Newton and Juergen Teller (posing nude for the latter in front of the Mona Lisa), and now to Andrea Pallaoro, too.

An intriguing gaze: Charlotte Rampling in 10 cult films.
Posted: Thu, 04 Feb 2016 08:00:00 GMT [source]
She appeared in the cult classic Vanishing Point, in a scene deleted from the U.S. theatrical release (included in the U.K. release). Lead actor Barry Newman remarked that the scene was of aid in the allegorical lilt of the film. On the red carpet, the actor was almost always seen in black, whether in floor-sweeping coat dresses or chic two-piece suits, with soft waves in her shoulder length locks. Courtenay noted that “45 Years” has similarities to the story of his 27-year marriage to his wife, Isabelle, who was a stage manager when he was doing the play “The Dresser.” They are childless, and like Kate and Geoff they have a dog. Geoff becomes obsessed with Katya and spends time in the attic looking at the pictures and slides he had of his time with her. He even begins smoking, which he had quit since his heart surgery.
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.
Rampling could easily have made her career in the UK but was sought after by Italian directors, including Gianfranco Mingozzi and Luchino Visconti. She was never to be pinned down in predictable roles, and acted in diverse productions, from TV series including The Avengers, and opposite Yul Brynner in the adventure film The Long Duel, to playing Anne Boleyn in the costume drama Henry VIII and His Six Wives. Rampling’s talent was soon in demand both in the UK, USA and in Europe and it seemed almost destined that Europe would win out when she fell in love and married the French composer Jean-Michel Jarre, and made her home in France in 1978. Rampling’s trajectory from her early films to the movies she made in her late 50s has been characterized as a transition from merely playing her cold sexy self to learning to act — or being taught how, as one writer absurdly suggested, by the much less experienced Ozon.
