Young actress Claire Julien is known for her striking role in the movie Elite Society. Six years have passed since the release of this film on the screens, and fans of the rising star have not waited for the next role of the actress. You can get acquainted with the biography of Claire Julien in the article below.
Family and early years
Claire Alice Julien was born on January 11, 1995 in Los Angeles (California, USA). The girl was born in the family of a housewife Anna Julien and a famous Hollywood cameraman and director Wally Pfister, winner of the Oscar for his work in the 2010 film Inception. Below is a childhood photo of Claire with her famous father.
The aspiring actress is the middle of three children. She has an older brother Nicholas and a younger sister Mia. The reason Claire takes her mother's last name is unknown.
The girl dreamed of an acting career from the age of 8, periodically coming to shoot with her father, but he himself tried with all his might to protect Claire from a cinematic career and did not "promote" her at allhelp their connections.
The Dark Knight debut
The day Claire Julien made her film debut, her father tried his best to prevent it. In 2012, The Dark Knight Rises was filming, and Wally Pfister, who had been Christopher Nolan's chief cinematographer for many years, was working on that film too. While filming the scene with the stolen jewelry, the director discovered that the extra slated for the role of Maid 3 had the wrong accent. Not wanting to waste time looking for another girl, Nolan, who knew the entire Pfister family, asked him to call Claire. The 17-year-old girl was just the right age.
The girl's father denied for a long time, but the desire to help the director and his old friend forced him to invite his daughter to shoot. Claire did an excellent job with her small role, after which she said more than once that in front of the camera she felt for the first time in her place, once and for all deciding to go on the acting path.
Elite Society
The same year, Claire Julien decided to audition for a new film directed by Sofia Coppola. Subsequently, she said that she did not even take an interest in the plot of the film and performed terribly at the auditions, but the director noticed the necessary potential in the girl and invited one of the main characters to play the role.
The plot of the painting "Elite Society" is based on real events and tells about a group of teenagers from Los Angeles who,admiring and envious of the fame of Paris Hilton, they decide to rob a socialite, thus bringing their rich life closer.
In the film, Claire Julien played the role of a girl named Chloe, based on Alexis Neyers, who actually participated in the robbery of celebrity houses.
In the group of main characters, Claire was the only native of Los Angeles - other actors were born in Chicago, Gulfport, Redington or even are loyal subjects of the UK, such as the film star Emma Watson. This fact also influenced Sofia Coppola when choosing an actress - she wanted Claire to infect her colleagues with the true spirit of the "city of angels".
Critics received Claire Julien's work very warmly. They noted that if the aspiring actress acted naively, not coping in some moments, then this was compensated by her sincerity, a lively gleam in her eyes and genuine charisma.
Working with V Magazine
Immediately after the release of "Elite Society", Claire Julien was spotted by several fashion photographers. She received many offers for shooting, but, not wanting to be sprayed, the rising star signed a contract with the famous V Magazine, taking part in a number of advertising photo shoots. In addition, as a model, Julien has worked for Vogue, Nylon and Los Angeles Confidential magazines.
Private life
In 2012, Claire Julien began dating Hollywood investor Gio Mancuso, who was11 years older than the girl. Their relationship was still ongoing in 2013, but nothing is known about Claire's personal life at the moment.
Present
Immediately after the release of "Elite Society", Claire Julien was noticed, prophesying the girl's success in the acting field. But 6 years have passed, and the young actress has not received any new work in the cinema. Perhaps this is due to the fact that in 2013 Claire became a student at the California Institute of Fashion Design and Merchandising. From that moment on, she appeared less and less in public and stopped giving interviews.
In 2014, fans were displeased to learn that Claire had deleted her Instagram account. It seems that the study absorbed the girl so much that there was simply no time left to cover the details of her personal life.
Wally Pfister and Anna Julien divorced in 2015, but Claire, having lived separately for several years, took the news calmly, still maintaining a good relationship with both parents.
In 2016, Claire graduated. It is currently unknown if she is preparing to pursue an acting career or is already working as a fashion designer in her acquired profession. But the audience, who fell in love with her in the image of bright and cheerful Chloe, do not lose hope to see the young actress on the screen again.
