Is it a coincidence that the biggest party in Hollywood is on Emmanuelle Riva’s 86th Birthday?
Dreaming of becoming an actress from the time she was five, Emmanuelle ran off to Paris to enter, and win, a contest by the Dramatic Arts Center of Rue Blanche.
Shortly after, cast in Alain Resnais’ classic, HIROSHIMA mon AMOUR, her career was launched into full orbit.
Starring in the 2012, AMOUR (nominated for Best Foreign Film), by the famed Austrian director Michael Haneke (nominated for Best Director), Emmanuelle’s deep reflection on love and death, combined with her trademark ‘intellectual eroticism’, has earned her an OSCAR nomination.
At 85, she is the oldest nominee for Best Actress in OSCAR history!
AMOUR won the Golden Palm at Cannes, with an unprecedented shout-out to Emmanuelle’s performance.
On behalf of all your movie fans..Many Happy Returns Emmanuelle!
