biography:
Michelle Fairley, 11 Temmuz 1963 tarihinde Coleraine, Kuzey İrlanda'da dünyaya gelmiştir. Bir halkla ilişkiler görevlisi olan Brian Fairley ve bir hemşire olan Teresa Fairley'in kızı olarak büyüyen Fairley, gençlik yıllarında oyunculuğa ilgi duymaya başladı ve Ulster Gençlik Tiyatrosu'nun (Ulster Youth Theatre) bir üyesi oldu. Eğitimini tamamladıktan sonra Belfast'a taşınarak repertuvar tiyatrosunda yeteneklerini geliştirdi. Profesyonel kariyerine İngiliz televizyon dizilerindeki küçük rollerle başlayan oyuncu, sinema dünyasındaki ilk dikkat çekici performansını Ken Loach'ın yönettiği politik gerilim filmi "Gizli Ajanda" (Hidden Agenda) (1990) ile sergiledi.

Kariyerinin ilk yıllarında "The Bill", "Casualty" ve "Inspector Morse" gibi popüler İngiliz dizilerinde yer alarak istikrarlı bir grafik çizdi. Sinemada ise "The Others" (2001) filminde küçük ama etkili bir rolde göründü. Ancak geniş kitleler tarafından tanınmasını sağlayan ilk büyük yapım, "Harry Potter ve Ölüm Yadigârları: Bölüm 1" (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1) (2010) filminde Hermione Granger'ın annesi Mrs. Granger rolünü üstlenmesi oldu.

Michelle Fairley'i dünya çapında bir yıldıza dönüştüren ve kariyerinin zirvesine taşıyan proje, HBO'nun fenomen dizisi "Game of Thrones" (2011-2013) oldu. Dizinin ilk üç sezonunda Stark hanesinin güçlü ve fedakar matriyarkı Catelyn Stark karakterini canlandırdı. Bu performansı, ona hem eleştirmenlerden övgü hem de Satürn Ödülleri gibi prestijli organizasyonlarda adaylıklar getirdi ve "The Red Wedding" (Kızıl Düğün) bölümündeki performansı televizyon tarihinin unutulmaz anlarından biri olarak kayıtlara geçti.

"Game of Thrones" sonrasında televizyon dünyasında aranan bir isim haline gelen Fairley, Amerikan dizisi "Suits"te (2013) Ava Hessington karakteriyle ve aksiyon serisi "24: Live Another Day"de (2014) ana kötü karakter Margot Al-Harazi olarak izleyici karşısına çıktı. Ayrıca tarihi drama dizisi "The White Princess"te (2017) Margaret Beaufort rolüyle güçlü kadın karakterleri canlandırma konusundaki başarısını sürdürdü.

Son yıllarda kariyerine hem tiyatro hem de ekran önünde devam eden başarılı oyuncu, Londra'daki Bridge Theatre'da sahnelenen "Julius Caesar" (2018) oyununda Cassius rolüyle sahne aldı. Televizyonda ise suç draması "Gangs of London"da (2020-günümüz) acımasız suç patroniçesi Marian Wallace karakterine hayat verdi.

Catherine Frot

biography:
Catherine Frot (born 1 May 1956) is a French actress. A ten-time César Award nominee, she won the awards for Best Actress for Marguerite (2015) and Best Supporting Actress for Family Resemblances (1996). Her other films include Le Dîner de Cons (1998), La Dilettante (1999), and Haute Cuisine (2012).

Frot was born in Paris, France, the daughter of an engineer and a mathematics teacher. Her younger sister, Dominique, is also an actress. Catherine demonstrated comic talent at an early age, and enrolled in the Versailles conservatory when she was fourteen and still at school. In 1974, she began her education at the Rue Blanche school and afterwards took up full-time studies at the conservatory.

In 1975, Frot appeared at the Festival d'Avignon with the Compagnie du Chapeau Rouge (Red Hat Company) which she founded with the help of others. From then on, Catherine put all her energy into theatre performances in roles such as the Présidente de Tourvel in the play Les Liaisons dangereuses in 1987. She performed in a number of classical plays such as La Cerisaie, directed by Peter Brook in 1982, and La Mouette directed by Pierre Pradinas in 1985.

In films, Frot won the César Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1996, for playing Yolande, 'the sweet silly wife of a provincial bully' in Cédric Klapisch's Un air de famille and was funny and moving as a wealthy, rebellious nuisance in La Dilettante (1999). In 7 ans de mariage, she played a prudish banker, wife and mother, who is drawn by her bored, sexually frustrated husband into the world of Parisian "clubs échangistes" ("wife-swapping clubs"). She is an officer of the Ordre national du Mérite.

biography:
Catherine Frot, née le 1er mai 1956 dans le 13e arrondissement de Paris, est une actrice française.  Depuis 1986, elle a été nommée dix fois aux César du cinéma, obtenant celui de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle en 1997 pour Un air de famille et celui de la meilleure actrice en 2016 pour Marguerite.

Elle est également lauréate de deux Molières: meilleure comédienne dans un second rôle en 1995 pour la pièce Un air de famille et meilleure comédienne dans un spectacle de théâtre privé en 2016 pour Fleur de cactus.

Elle est la sœur de l'actrice Dominique Frot.

Sa famille est originaire de Rochefort-sur-Mer en Charente-Maritime. Fille de Jacques Frot (1932-2022), ingénieur, et de Jacqueline Jeanne, directrice de lycée, Catherine Frot passe son enfance dans différentes villes de province.

De vocation précoce, avec une prédilection sensible pour le comique, elle suit dès l'âge de quatorze ans les cours du conservatoire de Versailles, tout en poursuivant sa scolarité. Elle entre en 1974 à l'école de la rue Blanche puis au Conservatoire (promotion 1979), où elle est notamment l'élève de Marcel Bluwal. À la même époque, elle fait partie des fondateurs de la Compagnie du Chapeau Rouge, fort remarquée au festival d'Avignon off en 1975. C'est initialement au théâtre qu'elle va se consacrer le plus souvent, avec en point d'orgue le rôle de la Présidente de Tourvel dans une adaptation des Liaisons dangereuses mise en scène par Gérard Vergez (1987). Sur les planches, elle joue aussi de nombreux classiques: La Cerisaie et La Mouette de Tchekhov, respectivement mis en scène par Peter Brook en 1982 et Pierre Pradinas en 1985, ou encore John Gabriel Borkman d'Ibsen, dirigé par Luc Bondy en 1993, et des créations comme C'était comment déjà? de Jean Bouchaud, qui lui vaut le Prix de la révélation théâtrale de l'année du Syndicat de la critique en 1980.

Nommée en 1986 pour le César de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle pour son interprétation de Béatrice dans Escalier C, il lui a fallu attendre le rôle de Yolande dans le film de Cédric Klapisch, Un air de famille, pour se faire connaître du grand public. Elle avait précédemment déjà tenu ce rôle dans la pièce dont le film est adapté et avait remporté le Molière de la comédienne dans un second rôle en 1995. Pour ce même rôle au cinéma, elle reçoit ensuite le César de la meilleure actrice dans un second rôle en 1997.

C'est à l'approche de la fin des années 1990 qu'elle devient enfin tête d'affiche.

En 1998, elle obtient son premier grand rôle, celui de l'héroïne de La Dilettante de Pascal Thomas. Sorti en 1999, le film est un succès critique et commercial et impose l'actrice comme capable de jouer simultanément dans les tons burlesque et tragique.

Elle enchaîne alors les premiers rôles dans ces deux registres.

En 2001, elle évolue dans trois longs-métrages: elle retrouve Pascal Thomas pour la comédie chorale Mercredi, folle journée!, un nouveau succès. Elle partage aussi l'affiche du drame Chaos avec Vincent Lindon, sous la direction de la scénariste/réalisatrice Coline Serreau. Elle participe aussi au tournage d'une trilogie réalisée par Lucas Belvaux, composée de Un couple épatant (2001), Cavale (2002) et Après la vie (2003). ...
