Biography

Dalle was born in Brest, Finistère, France, as Béatrice Cabarrou.[1][2] In 1985, she married the painter Jean-François Dalle but they divorced in 1988.

She was working as a model when she met filmmaker Jean-Jacques Beineix. Beineix cast her in the lead role of the 1986 film 37°2 le matin (later released in the U.K. and U.S.A. under the title Betty Blue) which received BAFTA and Oscar nominations for Best Foreign Language Film, and made a star of Dalle.

She went on to appear in a series of major roles in French films, including the 1989 film Chimère, which was entered into the 1989 Cannes Film Festival.[3]

She is seen in a feature role in the 1991 music video "Move To Memphis" by Norwegian band a-ha.

She starred in Jim Jarmusch's Night on Earth in 1991. In 1997, she was cast in The Blackout, her first film made in the United States.

In 2001, Dalle appeared in the controversial film, Trouble Every Day, in which she played a vampire. More recently, she starred in the 2007 film À l'intérieur, in which she played a cruel psychopath stalking a pregnant woman.

Dalle's personal life has been somewhat controversial. She has been arrested on several occasions for shoplifting, drug-possession and assault.[4] In January, 2005, while making a film about prison-life in Brest, Dalle met Guenaël Meziani, who was serving a 12-year prison sentence for assaulting and raping his ex-girlfriend. She married him after 24 one-hour visits, and spoke on his behalf at hearings for his early release.[4][5]

Interviewed on the French TV programme Divan in 2016, Dalle said that, when she used to work in a morgue, she and friends sold body parts from corpses. She also admitted that, whilst on acid, she once ate a dead man's ear.[6]
