GENEVIÈVE BUJOLD
Canadian film actress.
Born July 1, 1942 in Montreal (Quebec, Canada).
Geneviève was the middle daughter in a devout French-Canadian Catholic family. Her parents took care of their children according to the principles of a Catholic upbringing. Little Genevieve was assigned to a maiden boarding school for a 12-year education. The strict discipline of boarding school she did not like - young Bugeau dreamed of a career as an actress. Once for freethinking and reading a banned novel Geneviève Bugeau was expelled from the institution.
Then she entered the Montreal School of Dramatic Art.
During vacations, arriving in Paris, the future actress was selected French film director Alain Resnais as a partner of Yves Montand for the female role in the film "The War is Over" (1966). In the same year, Geneviève Bugeau played in another French film "King of Hearts".
Returning home to Canada, Geneviève Bugeau starred in several films and TV series on Canadian and American television, and in 1967 she was awarded the "Emmy Award" - for the role of Joan of Arc on the NBC channel.
That same year, Geneviève Bugeau married Canadian filmmaker Paul Almond and subsequently starred in several films for him. In 1968, Paul and Genevieve had a son, Matthew. Despite the seeming prosperity, the couple divorced in 1972.
Also in 1968, Geneviève Bugeot was awarded the "Prix Suzanne Bianchetti" as the most promising young actress of French cinema.
But the real recognition came to Geneviève Bugeau in 1969. Having starred with Richard Burton in Anne for a Thousand Days, she won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama Film and was nominated for an Oscar for the same role.
Geneviève Bugeau was one of the most promising actresses, but her willful nature led to the fact that in 1974 for the failure to shoot the film "Earthquake" company "Universal Studios" terminated her contract, which could not but affect her career.
