Delphine Forest

Dolphin Forest is a talented actress, especially close to Russian-speaking audiences. The fact is that, although Dolphin was born in Paris, she obviously took over her interest in Russia from her grandmother, a Russian emigrant.

Surprisingly, the creative biography of the actress developed in such a way that the girl had a chance to play in the films of Russian directors and even get used to the image of the Don Cossack Aksinya Astakhova, the heroine of Mikhail Sholokhov's novel "Quiet Don".

The future actress was born on August 28, 1966 in Paris. However, being a Frenchwoman, the girl heard Russian speech from an early age. Grandma Dolphin, a Russian emigrant, left her native country immediately after the 1917 revolution and moved to the European capital. Perhaps that is why Dolphin Forest felt a certain affinity with Russian culture.

For the first time on the screen, Dolphin Forest appeared in 1988. The first in her filmography was the picture of the French director Pierre Cernyi "Hello, anxiety." This film did not bring the actress the coveted fame and popularity, but it became an excellent experience on the set. Here, Dolphin's partners were Bernard Fresson, Michel Cerro, Guy Marchand.

Following this film debut, Dolphin Forest played several more inconspicuous roles, in some films the name of the actress did not even get into the credits. But 1989 was Dolphin's finest hour: the girl was invited to play Marina Mnishek in the musical film Boris Godunov, directed by Andrzej Zulawski. Here, Forest's partners on the set were actors Rugjeiro Raimondi, Anne-Marie Pisani, Vladan Duzhovich, and the inimitable Galina Vishnevskaya voiced the role of Dolphin.

According to rumors, it was in the image of Galina Mnishek that Dolphin Forest was remembered by director Sergei Bondarchuk, who was just selecting the cast for the film adaptation of Sholokhov's “Quiet Don”. Bondarchuk had the idea of ​​this project for a long time, but there was always not enough money for such a large-scale work. The opportunity to start filming appeared only in 1990, when suddenly there were sponsors who were ready to take part in the project.

The situation was complicated by the fact that the producer who decided to invest in the shooting of the picture was Italian. He also put forward a number of requirements with which Bondarchuk had to agree. One of these requirements was the invitation to the roles of foreign actors. Initially, Sergei Bondarchuk prepared the role of Daria for Dolphin Forest, but after personal communication with the girl, he changed his mind and gave the actress the image of the main character - Aksinya.

Shooting soon began, some of which was organized in a real Cossack farm. As Dolphin Forest later recalled in an interview, Russia, familiar from the stories of her grandmother, turned out to be completely different from what the actress imagined. Most of all, Dolphin was surprised by the absence of snow - that year, winter really did not indulge in frosts and snowfalls. Artificial snow had to be brought to the set, which upset the actress.

But the role was a success: Dolphin spent a lot of time communicating with local residents, trying to adopt their manners, movements, gait. At first, the actress found it difficult to find a common language with Bondarchuk, who turned out to be a tough and demanding leader. The actors gave their all 100%, but the director demanded more and more. But soon Dolphin herself began to root for the result of the work and was drawn into the process of rehearsals and filming.

Work on the picture went on for a year, and then the unexpected happened: the sponsor of the film, as it turned out, took out a loan for filming. The producer could not return the money, and the representatives of the bank that issued the loan legally confiscated the footage as collateral. In 1994, the director Sergei Bondarchuk died, and work on "Quiet Don" remained unfinished.

Dolphin Forest has continued to appear in films and television programs. The actress can be seen in the films A House with 40 Dogs, Europe, Europe (with Julie Delpy and André Wilm), an erotic comedy directed by Cristina Comencini The Joy of Intimate Life (here Delphine played with Christophe Malavua and Giancarlo Giannini). And in 1996, Ken Russell's drama "Psychic" was released with Terence Stamp, Idan Alterman, Gilat Ankori.

Then there was a lull in the career of the actress: Dolphin Forest devoted several years to her family, refusing new roles. At the same time, the woman moved to Russia. According to Dolphin, this country has long attracted her, and the woman decided to live in the homeland of her ancestors.

And in 2006 Dolphin Forest's photos again appeared on the spreads of news publications: the fact is that work on "Quiet Don" was resumed. The rights to the already filmed material were bought by the son of Sergei Bondarchuk - Fedor.

They also talked about the future premiere on television: the fate of the picture was discussed even in the program “Let them talk” (then the show was hosted by Andrey Malakhov). The audience was impatiently awaiting the release of The Quiet Don on the screens. Unfortunately, immediately after the first episode, criticism rained down on Dolphin Forest and Rupert Everett (performer of the role of Grigory Melekhov).

It seemed to many that the actors did not accurately convey the images of the characters. Nevertheless, the premiere can be called successful - despite the difficulties of filming, the project turned out to be worthy.

Dolphin herself in an interview has repeatedly emphasized that she considers the role in "Quiet Don" her best work. In addition to Rupert Everett, Natalia Andreichenko, Vladimir Gostyukhin, Murray Abraham, Alevtina Rumyantseva became the partners of the actress on the set.

Dolphin Forest's personal life has developed happily. The woman is married, the wife of the actress is called Jerome. Dolphin gave her husband first two twin sons, and then another son.

After the birth of children, Dolphin left the shooting for a while to devote herself to the family. According to the actress, the children speak Russian well, although they study in Paris.

Now Dolphin Forest practically does not act in films. After The Quiet Don, the actress's filmography was replenished with several cameo roles in French films. The actress found a new hobby - Dolphin became a professional jewelry designer. In an interview, Dolphin Forest admitted that she did not regret such a decision. The main thing, according to the woman, is to enjoy what you do.

Nevertheless, Dolphin Forest does not exclude the possibility that after a while he will return to the screens, delighting the audience with a new bright role. In the meantime, fans only have to follow the news of fan communities on Instagram and other social networks, where fans share information about the life of their favorite actress.
