Early life and education
Mathilde Seigner was born in Paris, France. She is the granddaughter of actor Louis Seigner (1903–1991). She is the sister of Emmanuelle Seigner and a niece of Françoise Seigner.
Seigner studied comedy at the French theatre school Cours Florent drama school in Paris.
Career
Seigner first appeared on screen alongside her sister Emmanuelle in Le Sourire (The Smile) directed by Claude Miller.
Seigner's acting performances have been confined to French-language films, but she has appeared in a number of productions. She won Best Actress at the Montreal World Film Festival in 2001 for her role in Betty Fisher et autres histoires (Alias Betty), and has been nominated for a César Award three times.
She received the Prix Michel Simon in 1995 for her role in Rosine. Two years later, she won a César Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Nettoyage à sec.
Seigner won the Romy Schneider Prize in 1999. Her other films include Une hirondelle a fait le printemps (2001) as a city dweller who discovers the joys of the countryside; Le passager de l'été, Zone libre, and Danse avec lui (2007). With 3 amis, she returned to comedy, in such films as Tout pour plaire and Détrompez-vous.
She returned in 2009 with three dramatic comedies about family (Quelque chose à te dire, Trésor and Une semaine sur deux (et la moitié des vacances scolaires)). After Fini les vacances (2010), she appeared in Camping 2 and the remake of La guerre des boutons (2011).
In 2012, Seigner appeared in Dans la tourmente and Max. Two years after L'amour, la mort les fringues, she appeared in Nina, a comedy in which she is the heroine alongside François Berléand and François Vincentelli, as her husband and lover, respectively.
Other activities
In 2009, Seigner signed a petition in support of her brother-in-law Roman Polanski, calling for his release after Polanski was arrested in Switzerland in relation to his 1977 charge for drugging and raping a 13-year-old girl.
On 24 February 2012, during the César Award ceremony, she interrupted the telecast when Michel Blanc won, stating she would have preferred that Joey Starr won.
