Life and career

Sanda was born on 11 March 1951[1] in Paris, to Lucienne (née Pichon) and Gérard Varaigne.[2] She appeared in such noted European films of the 1970s as Vittorio de Sica's Il Giardino dei Finzi-Contini, Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist and Novecento, and Liliana Cavani's Beyond Good and Evil. She also appeared in The Mackintosh Man (with Paul Newman) and Steppenwolf (with Max von Sydow). Bernardo Bertolucci originally intended to cast Sanda in Last Tango in Paris; she developed the idea with him. He also wanted to cast Jean-Louis Trintignant. Trintignant refused and, when Marlon Brando accepted, Sanda was pregnant and decided not to do the film.[3]
In the 1970s, she lived with actor/director Christian Marquand, with whom she had a son, Yann Marquand. She won the award for Best Actress at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival for her role in the film The Inheritance.[4]
In 1993 at the Théâtre de la Commune, in Aubervilliers, France, she played Melitta in Madame Klein (Mrs. Klein by Nicolas Wright), directed by Brigitte Jaques-Wajeman. In 1995 in Italy, she played the Marquise de Merteuil in Les liaisons dangereuses, based on Choderlos de Laclos's novel, directed by Mario Monicelli. From 1995 to 1996 in France and Belgium, she has been Lady Chiltern in An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde, directed by Adrian Brine.
In 2000, she married Nicolae Cutzarida, an Argentine philosopher and university professor of Romanian origin. She currently lives in Uruguay and travels back and forth to Paris.[5]
