It was at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris, and there is no doubt that the actress remembers it as if it were yesterday. But, since then, water has flowed under the bridges and Sonia Rolland has accumulated many hats. In nearly 20 years, she has played several roles in the cinema for Amanda Sthers, Woody Allen and Richard Bohringer to name a few, and has made numerous appearances on the small screen.
Recently seen on TF1 on the occasion of the tribute paid to Geneviève de Fontenay during the last Miss France election which crowned Eve Gilles, Sonia Rolland, however, remains relatively discreet about her private life. Last May, she revealed that she had found love with a childhood sweetheart whose identity she did not wish to reveal.
