Mathilda May

She got her international break as Space Girl in Lifeforce - L'étoile du mal (1985) because none of the hundreds of British and American actresses that had auditioned were comfortable with a role that required so much full frontal nudity.

I never imagined before that I would be able to act, because as a dancer you learn that you need to work for many years before you can perform correctly. After tasting that great pleasure I couldn't take a dance class for three months. Acting was no pain and you could talk to people. I didn't want to go back and suffer.

I prefer to keep my private life private. I would like people to be interested in me because of what I do more than what I am. I don't know if that makes sense but it is how I feel.
