Virginie Ledoyen is a French actress born Virginie Fernandez on November 15, 1976[1] (alternate sources list birthyear as 1974[2][3]).
She was a print model from the age of 2 and later took on the stage name "Ledoyen" after the maiden name of her maternal grandmother, who had been a stage actress.
Her breakthrough came with La Fille seule (1995) for which she was nominated for a César Award (France's version of the Oscar). Outside of France, her best-known role is alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in The Beach (2000). Ledoyen is also somewhat infamous for a full-frontal nude scene in Voleur De l'Enfants when she was just 14.
In the fall of 2000, she signed a contract with L'Oréal, as a spokesmodel with the cosmetics company. She was featured alongside two French supermodels Laetitia Casta and Noémie Lenoir.
On 29 September 2001 she gave birth to her first child, a girl named Lila.
As of 20 September 2007 she is married to film director Iain Rogers
