Initially, the journalist wanted to return to a traumatic sentence for the young woman she was at the time. “With your voice, you will never be able to do theater”reads Alexandra Lamy although it is a sentence said to her by an ENT friend of her mother when she was just a teenager. “It’s a disaster and it’s been horrible.”immediately launched the actress, now 52 years old and with a busy career. “I was 16 years old and I had just started the conservatory and she said to me: ‘you will never be able to do theater, you have this veil, it’s not possible’.”
Alexandra Lamy listened to herself and fought to achieve her goals
Years later and with hindsight, Alexandra Lamy wanted to remind us that it was important to never listen to anyone and to trust yourself. “It’s terrible to say that to someone whose dream it is. It’s awful. Fortunately I didn’t listen to him and told myself that I was going to continue anyway. In the end, I did theater before doing cinema.” In response to this announced non-career, Alexandra Lamy can today boast of having played in 53 films, seven series and ten plays in a 25-year career. “It makes me a little dizzy to see that I finally did all that”she exclaimed as she saw all the posters for her films pass before her eyes. “Of course I am very happy with this career in which there is everything between theater, television, comedy…” After having long been considered the leading actress of romantic comedies, Audrey Lamy’s sister also managed to make a name for herself by playing in more dramatic films. She thus proved that she could embody anything.
