	Actors - Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa Chantal Paradis, (surname pronounced Para-DEE) (born December 22 1972 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, Val-de-Marne, France) is a French singer and actress.

Career

Paradis was discovered on the TV show L'école des fans. She recorded her first single "La magie des surprises-parties" in 1985 and became famous with the song "Joe le taxi" in 1987. She has since appeared in several films, most famously 1999's La fille sur le pont
, a black and white romance co-starring Daniel Auteuil, and 2004's Mon ange. It has been said that her level of fame in France is the equivalent to that of Shania Twain in North America, but without the country music overtones.

In 1992, Paradis famously promoted a new fragrance for Chanel, entitled "Coco." In the advertisement, she's dressed all in black and feathers, portraying a bird swinging in a cage. In 2004 they chose her once again to promote Chanel's new line of handbags called "Ligne Cambon." She is now promoting Chanel's "The New Mademoiselle" handbag line.

Family

Since 1998, Paradis has been in a relationship with American actor Johnny Depp, with whom she has a daughter, Lily-Rose Melody (born May 27, 1999), and a son, Jack John Christopher III (born April 9, 2002). Paradis caught Depp's eye in a hotel lobby in Paris while he was there shooting the film The Ninth Gate
. They are distant to the world of fame and protective of their privacy. They divide their time between a house in the Hollywood Hills and a villa in the South of France, they also own apartments in Paris and Manhattan. Paradis's 2000 album Bliss was dedicated to Depp and their daughter.
