Vanessa Chantal
Paradis (born December 22, 1972 in Saint Maur des Fossés,
Val-de-Marne, France) is a French singer and actress.
Career: Vanessa Paradis was discovered on the TV
show L'École des fans in 1980. She recorded her first
single La Magie des surprises-parties in 1985. Although
it was not a hit, it paved the way for the song with
which she would become internationally famous - Joe le
Taxi in 1987, while she was still only 14 years old. It
was #1 in France for 14 weeks and, unusually for a song
sung in French, was released in the UK the following
year, where it reached #3. It was taken from her first
album M&J (it stands for Marilyn & John) which,
although it gained a respectable #13 placing in France,
drew little attention in Britain and did not chart.
In 1992, now aged 19 and working in the U.S. with
American rock musician Lenny Kravitz, who was her
boyfriend for a while, Paradis began work on a new album
sung in English, in which she had become fluent. Written
and produced by Kravitz, the album, titled simply
Vanessa Paradis, topped the French chart and briefly
made the UK listings (#45). One of the singles taken
from it was Be My Baby, which made #5 in France and gave
her her other Top 10 UK hit (#6). 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.
In 1991, Paradis famously promoted a new fragrance for
Chanel, entitled Coco. In the advertisement, she is
dressed in all 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. On the musical side, She is
included in the French childrens album "Le Soldat
Rose". Paradis currently released a new album
(Divinidylle) and will be touring in October. She is
also coming out with two new movies: La Clef and Le
Soldat rose.
Family: Since 1998, Paradis has been in a
relationship with American actor Johnny Depp. Paradis
caught Depp's eye in a hotel lobby in Paris while he was
there shooting the film The Ninth Gate (1999).
Although many people assume that Depp and Paradis are
legally bound, the couple are not married. They have a
daughter, Lily-Rose Melody Depp (born May 27, 1999), and
a son, John Christopher "Jack" Depp III (born
April 9, 2002). Interviewed by Weekend Knack Magazine
with Depp and Paradis friend film producer Jai Hanlyn,
Vanessa said when asked about marriage "God, we've
been married for so long already! Can you be more
married than having children together then?"
They divide their time between houses in the Hollywood
Hills and their farm in the South of France, and also
own apartments in Paris, Manhattan and an island in the
Bahamas. Paradis's 2000 album Bliss, another French
chart topper, was dedicated to Depp and their daughter.
Lily Rose was in the hospital in London for five days in
March 2007, reportedly with an E. coli infection.
