Nathalie Richard

Nathalie Richard (born 6 January 1963) is a French actress.
Life and career
Richard was born in Paris, France. As a child, Nathalie Richard practised dance and ice-skating. She spent a year in New York with the Karole Armitage company, returning to join the Conservatoire national supérieur d'art dramatique and graduating in 1986. Since then she has worked regularly in both cinema and theatre, her first major role being Viviane in Catherine Corsini's Les Amoureux in 1993.
In 2018, alongside Liza Blanchard she took one of the principal roles in the staging of Anne Théron, created at the TNS of the play À la trace of Alexandra Badea which explores mother-daughter relations. The performance, in dialogue with pre-recorded audio-visual projections, was lauded by the press., breaking down the barriers between theatre and film.
She received the Prix Michel Simon film prize for most promising actress/actor for her role in the 1988 Jacques Rivette film Gang of Four.
