Model and actress since she was a teenager, her spectacular physique is not one of those that goes unnoticed, it is impossible not to notice this blonde with light eyes. She tries not to believe it too much and to work her acting career step by step.

Her father was in the restaurant business, her mother was a part-time pharmacist, home was her other job. Norman Mélanie Thierry was born in 1981, and her physical attractiveness immediately made her a candidate to star in commercials and billboards, a world she entered as a teenager. Some of the brands she has been associated with as a model include Hermès and Yves Saint-Laurent.

Although she has appeared in television series in her country since 1996, she owes her film debut to an Italian, she was “The Girl” in Giuseppe Tornatore ‘s hypnotic Legend of the Pianist in the Ocean (1998) . Four years later, at barely 20 years old, she began a long-lasting relationship with the singer Raphaël Haroche, with whom she has had two children.

Almost his entire career has been developed in his country, France, but that has not prevented him from filming in English, the case of Babylon (2008), where he accompanied Vin Diesel under the orders of his compatriot Mathieu Kassovitz . That same year she was in Largo Winch , an adaptation of the comic by Jean Van Hamme and Philippe Francq. And two years later, a giant step forward, she won a César for Most Promising Actress for her work in Le dernier pour la route , a film about alcoholism in which she opposite François Cluzet .

He has worked with prestigious directors such as Bertrand Tavernier ( The Princess of Montpensier , 2010), André Techiné ( Impardonnables , 2011), Terry Gilliam ( The Zero Theorem , 2013) and Denys Arcand ( The Kingdom of Beauty , 2014). And the Spanish Fernando León de Aranoa wanted her in the film about the conflict in the former Yugoslavia in A Perfect Day (2015).

It is clear that this girl does not want to miss out on a career where she does not lack work, and the proof is her role as Gabrielle Bloch, a sort of mentor to Loïe Fuller in the biopic The Dancer (2016).
