Growing up with artistic genes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juliette was born on March 9, 1964, in Paris, France. Juliette\u2019s artistic genes come from her Polish mother Monique Yvette Stalens, a teacher, director, and actress and father Jean-Marie Binoche, a director, actor, and sculptor. Sadly, her parents divorced in 1968, after which Juliette and her sister Marion were sent away to a boarding school and hardly enjoyed time with their parents since. Not good in academics, Juliette decided to pursue dramatics. At 17, she directed and starred in a student play, Exit the King<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the early 1980s, she joined a theater troupe, touring France, Belgium and Switzerland under the pseudonym “Juliette Adrienne”.   <\/sup>That soon led her to debut on French television series Doroth\u00e9e, danseuse de corde<\/em> (1983) followed by another small role in the television film Fort bloque<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1983, she got her first break in films with the motion picture Liberty Belle<\/em>. However, small the role may have been, Juliette Binoche knew on the sets then, this is where she wanted to be. In 1986, Juliette was awarded the Romy-Scheneider Prize for her acting skills and technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
