With her incredible beauty Carole Bouquet should not have to take her clothes off or even jumped into bed to achieve fame. Nevertheless she is a french actress after all and nude is just common in french movie. So we adore her because she was not stingy to show every curve of her body even to reach the age of 50. These are just a few example:
Strikingly attractive French actress Carole Bouquet achieved instant world notice when she landed the role of Bond girl Melina Havelock, opposite Roger Moore’s 007, in For Your Eyes Only (1981). She won a César Award after starring in the internationally successful French picture Too Beautiful For You (1989), opposite Gérard Depardieu. More recently, she took home a Stockholm Film Festival Award for her bravura performance in Juan Diego Solanas’ Nordeste (2005).

In Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, Carole Bouquet was born on August 18, 1957. She was a philosophy student of the Sorbonne, University of Paris, before transferring to the National Conservatory of Dramatic Art of Paris, in which she got her acting training.
Carole was married to producer Jean-Pierre Rassam until his death on January 28, 1985. The couple had a son named Dimitri Rassam. In 2003, she tried to build a new family with French actor Gérard Depardieu, whom she dated since 1997.
A graduate from the Paris Conservatory, Carole Bouquet made her miniseries debut with a bit part in the French-made “Famille Cigale, La” in 1977, followed by a role in the TV film Rebelles, Les, that same year. Her first major break, however, arrived when she was cast as Conchita, a title character she shared with Ángela Molina, in writer/director Luis Buñuel’s That Obscure Object of Desire (1977). Two years later, she was seen acting with her future companion, French actor Gérard Depardieu, in the black comedy Buffet Froid/ Cold Cuts, written and helmed by Bertrand Blier.
After a starring role in the musical Blank Generation (1980), Bouquet attracted the interest of both American and international audiences with her role of Bond girl Melina Havelock in For Your Eyes Only (1981), with Roger Moore. Despite the worldwide exposure, Bouquet concentrated on feature work in her native France and starred in a number of foreign productions, most notably Day Of The Idiots (1982), Bingo Bongo (1982), Murder Near Perfect (1983) and Right Bank, Left Bank (1984, earned a César nod for Best Supporting Actress). She did not appear in another American film until Francis Ford Coppola’s segment of New York Stories (1989), where she made a cameo appearance as Princess Soroya, opposite Woody Allen.
Also in 1989, Bouquet gave a memorable portrayal of Florence Barthélémy/La voisine de Colette, the undesired wife in Bertrand Blier’s highly successful Too Beautiful for You, reuniting with Gérard Depardieu. For her effort, she was handed a César for Best Actress in 1990.
Throughout the ‘90s, Bouquet enjoyed international triumph as the model for Chanel No. 5 perfume. In the meantime, she continued to star in many French pictures. Among her works were portraying a character named Carole Bouquet in Michel Blanc’s comedy Dead Tired/Grosse Fatigue (1994, released in the USA in 1995), replacing Juliette Binoche in the title role of Claude Berri’s historical drama Lucie Aubrac (1997, opposite Daniel Auteuil) as well as starring opposite off-screen companion Gerard Depardieu in Un Pont entre deux rives/A Birdge Between Two Shores (1999), in which Depardieu also served as co-director.
