Biography:

Isabelle Candelier (born 12 June 1963) is a French film and television actress. Isabelle Candelier made her stage debut at the Montpellier Conservatory under Michel Touraille, then continued her training in Paris at the Conservatoire National Supérieur d'Art Dramatique. From 1986, she worked in theaters directed by Jacques Nichet and Jean-Pierre Vincent. On stage, she met Michel Vuillermoz and the brothers Denis and Bruno Podalydès. It was the start of a fruitful collaboration, and when Bruno Podalydès moved on to directing for the cinema, Isabelle Candelier was naturally included in the cast of most of his films: from the short film Versailles Rive-Gauche in 1992 to Bécassine in 2018, including Dieu seul me voit (Versailles-Chantiers) and Le Mystère de la chambre jaune. In 1996, she co-wrote and performed the play André le magnifique, which was made into a film three years later. Denis Podalydès and Michel Vuillermoz were also involved. From then on, her film and TV roles became more important, and she worked with Pascal Thomas, Philippe Lioret and Jean Becker.
