In 1988, on the set of ?Frantic?, she met director Roman Polanski and married him the following year. They have two children. Extremely selective about her choices, she has performed in two films directed by her husband, ?Bitter Moon? (1992) and ?The Ninth Gate? (1999), in ?Nirvana? by Gabriele Salvatores, ?Place Vendôme? (1998) by Nicole Garcia, ?Ils se marièrent et eurent beaucoup d?enfants? (2004), a comedy by Yvan Attal; as well as very recently in ?Backstage?
