Born Isabelle Yasmine Adjanian, Jun 27, 1955, in Paris, France.

Another perennially beautiful French actress who obviously made a pact with the Devil somewhere along the line; she must be as old as the hills by now and still looks like she's in her twenties.

Not that this has always helped her. While she remains a successful actress in France, her attempts at breaking into the American market (eg., Ishtar) have been forbiddingly disastrous. Her mixed Algerian and German background and public criticism of the French National Front's xenophobia have made her the target of various French right-wing groups, which in a 1986 defamation campaign had momentarily convinced France that Isabelle had died of AIDS. Later she incurred the wrath of the Muslim world after reading from The Satanic Verses at the 1989 Césars and generally criticizing Islamic fundamentalism in Algeria. Then in 1995, shortly after giving birth to his son, she was reportedly dumped via fax by actor Daniel Day Lewis.

Some people just can't get a break no matter how good-looking they are.
