Julie Delpy was born on December 21, 1969 in Paris, France. She is a French/American actress, singer and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter.

She made her stage debut at the age of 5, and at 14 she obtained a role in the Jean-Luc Godard motion picture, Detective. Two years later she landed the title role in La Passion Béatrice and used the money she earned to pay for her first trip to New York City. Delpy continued making regular trips to New York over the next few years before finally moving there in 1990.

In America, Delpy is perhaps best known as Ethan Hawke's co-star in Richard Linklater's one-night-in-Vienna romance Before Sunrise (1995) and its sequel, Before Sunset (2004). Delpy's other films include Killing Zoe (1994), An American Werewolf in Paris (1997), Villa Des Roses (2002), Broken Flowers (2005) and The Hoax (2006).

In 2007 she release Two Days in Paris. Delpy not only starred in this film but she also directed, wrote, edited, and co-produced it and wrote the original music. The film also features Delpy's real-life parents.
