Nathalie Baye

Born: 6 June 1948
Where: Mainneville, France

Nathalie Baye was formerly a dancer that went on to study at the Paris Conservatoire . When she eventually got into acting, she made her debut in Francois Turffaut's 1973 movie, Day For Night.

Before long she was a favourite in her home country and starred in a number of hits including A Week's Vacation, The Return Of Martin Guerre and Beethoven's Nephew.

Though she has appeared in over 50 French movies, it was her role in Spielbergs Catch Me If You Can that makes her more recognisable to the English speaking world.
