Real Name : Charlotte Rampling
|
Charlotte Rampling was born in Sturmer, England, in 1946. The daughter of a British Colonel who became a NATO commander and a painter, she was educated at Jeanne d'Arc Académie pour Jeunes Filles in Versailles, France and at the exclusive St. Hilda's school in Bushley, England. She was a model before entering films in 'Richard Lester (I)' (qv)'s _The Knack ...and How to Get It (1965)_ (qv), followed by roles in _Georgy Girl (1966)_ (qv) and 'Luchino Visconti' (qv)'s _La caduta degli dei (Götterdämmerung) (1969)_ (qv). Rampling is best known for her role in 'Liliana Cavani' (qv)'s _Il portiere di notte (1974)_ (qv), where she played a concentration camp survivor who is reunited with the Nazi guard ('Dirk Bogarde' (qv)) who tortured her throughout her captivity. In 1974, she co-starred with 'Sean Connery' (qv) in 'John Boorman' (qv)'s science fiction adventure _Zardoz (1974)_ (qv), with 'Robert Mitchum' (qv) in _Farewell, My Lovely (1975)_ (qv), with 'Woody Allen' (qv) in his _Stardust Memories (1980)_ (qv), and with 'Paul Newman (I)' (qv) in 'Sidney Lumet' (qv)'s _The Verdict (1982)_ (qv). An actress always willing to take on bold and meaningful roles, Rampling had perhaps the most off-beat one in 'Nagisa Ôshima' (qv)'s 1986 comedy _Max mon amour (1986)_ (qv) as Margaret, a woman in love with a chimpanzee. She also voices video games, such as The Ring.

- I'd rather be thought of like that than to play Mary Poppins. -- Charlotte Rampling, in response to her tendency toward playing villainess roles
- Difficult acting with a chimp? No, no. The emotions were the same. In a way it was like playing opposite 'Paul Newman (I)' (qv). The chimpanzee reacted differently, that's all.
- Oh, directors want me to be really stern sometimes. They like that quality in a woman. They find it compelling.
- I didn't allow myself to have fun for a very long time, for all sorts of reasons. What's happened now is that I've lived through that, and I've come to a point where I can say that. I can feel happy too!
- I'm just amazed. I'm glad to be alive, because I know what it's like not to want to be here, and glad that young directors want to put me in fantastic films. So say no more.
- I had fun before, but if you can have fun the way I have when I'm nearly 60, that's quite interesting. If you don't worry about getting wrinkled and all that, and you just allow yourself to feel good, then maybe it's because your time has come.
- I think you have to earn beauty. You can use it or abuse it however you want when you're young. It's a God-given gift. You have a visiting card - you can go into any room and someone will come and talk to you. But I've always thought from very early on that you have to be careful with that - not being vain or narcissistic. Have fun, but don't be obsessed with it.
- There's an awful lot of pressure around the idea of a woman growing older and therefore losing that potential of being desirable, and that puts women into a situation where they feel almost embarrassed about the fact they don't have the kind of bodies that young women have, or they don't have the kind of sexual attraction that seems to go with a younger stage of their life. What does that mean, the fact that you're older? It means that you're not going to have the same kind of relationships you had when you were younger. I think we have to reinvent from a woman's point of view another way of being.
- I generally don't make films to entertain people. I choose the parts that challenge me to break through my own barriers. A need to devour, punish, humiliate, or surrender seems to be a primal part of human nature, and it's certainly a big part of sex. To discover what normal means, you have to surf a tide of weirdness.
- There are now different subjects coming up for us older women that certainly didn't before. Of course, sexuality and sensuality have always been forms that film is obsessed with, but it used to be a form for younger women because, well, they were much prettier, but now directors and audiences are using it to explore older women - it may not be quite so pretty but my God that won't stop me from investigating it.
