The beautiful girl has collaborated with Pedro Almodovar, she is spectacular and loved in her own country and other European countries.
Actors daughter
The complete filmography of Michelle Henner has already 34 works, but the actress barely crossed the thirty-year mark. She was born in 1986 in Barcelona, ​​one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and around the world. The future movie star was very lucky to grow up in a family of artists. The girl’s dad is Miguel Angel Henner, a Spanish actor with English roots, and her mother (Martin Hasson) is a music hall dancer and actress from France.
It goes without saying that the parents of the beautiful Michel saw in her the successor of their work, and the girl herself was not averse to becoming a movie star in Spain. Her education was very versatile.
She studied music, dance, vocals at the Studio Company & Company, and also studied the basics of dramatic art at the Nancy Tunion School.
Michelle Henner used to be in the spotlight and work on camera from childhood. She started acting a little later than how she learned to walk - at the age of two years. The first works of the young actress were commonplace commercials for television.
First work
The full-fledged work for Michelle began when she was only fourteen years old. At this time, she made her television debut in the series "City Scenery". The young native of Barcelona got the role of Sylvia, with whom she successfully coped for two years.
After this, Michelle's career began for a rather long break, from which she returned as Sarah Miranda in the television series People of Paco. The project was a success with the Spanish public and lasted almost five years from 2005 to 2010.
It was the role of Sarah that made the girl a star in her own country, and Michelle Henner's films were successful thanks to the presence of a sultry Spanish woman in them.
In 2009, the actress was noted for her role in the comedy "Very Spanish Cinema", two years later she played in the science fiction film "Alien from Space". Here she played a girl involved in a love polygon, against the background of the invasion of a delegation of mysterious guests from outer space in Madrid.
"Do not be afraid"
2011 was the most “fruitful” year for her actress in her career, Michelle took part in four films, including “Aliens”. However, her most serious work was the dramatic role of Sylvia in the film "Do not be afraid."
The plot of this tape touched on a very painful topic - domestic violence against children. Michelle Henner played the role of a girl who was once abused by a monster father and now tried to rebuild her life, collecting pieces of an innocent soul together.
Michelle took her image very seriously and did a titanic preparatory work before filming began. According to the girl, she held many meetings with real victims of violence from her loved ones, from whom she learned the shocking details of their life stories.
Michelle Henner's work impressed viewers and film critics who praised the film itself in general and the game by the native of Barcelona in particular. She was even nominated for a Goya Award in the category "Best Female Acting Debut."
"Isabel"
Spanish history is very rich in vivid events, powerful kings and spectacular queens. About one of them, local television people decided to make a whole multi-part television movie. Isabella I, Queen of Castile, played a rather significant role in the life of the country, many Spaniards know her, so the project was doomed to success from the very beginning.
It is worth noting the sniper choice of the actress for the main role. Michelle Henner has already won the status of a local favorite, and all the men of the country secretly dreamed of becoming pages at the feet of such a queen.
The series "Isabella" was a tremendous success in Spain, the fame of it reached even the rest of Europe, whose inhabitants, by definition, were indifferent to the ups and downs of the history of Castile. Bright costumes and scenery, an intriguing plot, romantic adventures of the heroes of the gallant age - all this became an excellent bait for viewers.
At some point, even Michelle Henner herself was tired of playing the same role day after day for several years. The story of the Castilian queen ended only in 2014 along with the death of the main character.
Collaboration with Almodovar
After completing the filming of Isabella, Michelle Henner, all of whose films are difficult to list on the same list, set to work again in full-length films. She is shot a lot and often, but most of the paintings have the status of passing and quickly forgotten by the public.
In 2016, Michelle pulled out her happy acting ticket in the form of a collaboration with Pedro Almodovar, a cult Spanish director. She starred in his movie Juliet, where she played the role of Beatrice. “Juliet” has become a landmark event in the world of cinema, the film was nominated for an award at the Cannes Film Festival, and Henner, along with other movie stars, got the opportunity to defile on the red carpet.
According to the girl, cooperation with Almodovar became an indispensable experience in her acting career. The demanding master demanded excellence from each participant in the filming process and brought each shot to perfect condition.
In the same 2016, Michelle Henner appeared in another popular Spanish film - “Our Lovers”. Here she played the role of Irene, an adventurer, ready for the most desperate acts.
