Ludivine Sagnier was born on July 3, 1979, in La Celle-Saint-Cloud, France. An actress from an early age, Ludivine took eight years of theater courses in Sevres. Her first screen credits came when she was only 10, taking roles in Je veux rentrer la maison (1989, I Want to Go Home) and Les maris, les femmes, les amants (1989, Husbands, Women, Lovers). The next year, she appeared in the big-budget screen version of Cyrano de Bergerac, starring Gerard Depardieu in the title role.

In 1994, Sagnier took first prize at the Versailles Academy of Dramatic Arts in both the traditional and modern categories. But Ludivine had yet to really break out, despite this success, and during her teenage years she went on to appear in a series of movies for French television. 1999 saw the talented actress in numerous productions, including Rembrandt, Les enfants du sicle (The Children of the Century) and Acide anim (Anna's Trip).
In 2000, Ludivine Sagnier starred in Gouttes d'eau sur pierres brlantes (Water Drops on Burning Rocks), directed by Franois Ozon. Next came the films Bon plan (2000, Great Idea), Un jeu d'enfants (2001, Children's Play) and Ma femme est une actrice (2001, My Wife Is an Actress).

Ludivine's career reached new heights when she re-teamed with Franois Ozon for his 2002 film, 8 femmes (8 Women). Her performance earned her the Romy Schneider Award (annually given to a promising young French actress) plus a nomination for a Csar Award (the French Academy Award equivalent).
Ludivine shared the European Film Award for Best Actress and the Silver Bear Award at the 2002 Berlin International Film Festival along with 8 femmes' distinguished cast, which included Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Emmanuelle Bart, Fanny Ardant, and relative newcomer Virginie Ledoyen (of The Beach fame).
Also in 2002, Ludivine starred in the miniseries Napoleon and made her English-language debut in Ian Simpson's Toothache.

But it was the following year that would prove to be Ludivine's biggest yet. She starred in another Ozon film, Swimming Pool, which garnered her a second Csar nomination for her portrayal as the seductive Provenal nymphet Julie. She also starred in Claude Miller's La Petite Lili, based on Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
Both Swimming Pool and La Petite Lili were official 2003 Cannes Festival selections, giving Ludivine double exposure -- and acclaim -- at the world's premier film festival.

Swimming Pool went on to become one of the highest-grossing foreign films in the United States, in 2003. It was perfect timing, since that Christmas, Ludivine Sagnier was introduced to American audiences on a grand scale in the live-action version of Peter Pan. Ludivine had spent the film's 10-month shoot commuting from France to Australia in order to play Tinkerbell ("Tink"), which was understandably exhausting for the actress.
