Biography
Tessa Charlotte Rampling was born 5 February 1946 in Sturmer, England, to Isabel Anne (Gurteen), a painter, and Godfrey Lionel Rampling, an Olympic gold medalist, army officer, and colonel, who became a NATO commander. She was educated at Jeanne d'Arc Académie pour Jeunes Filles in Versailles, France and at the exclusive St. Hilda's school in Bushey, England. She was a model before entering films in Richard Lester's Sposób na kobiety (1965), followed by roles in Georgy Girl (1966) and Luchino Visconti's Zmierzch bogów (1969). Rampling is best known for her role in Liliana Cavani's Nocny portier (1974), where she played a concentration camp survivor who is reunited with the Nazi guard (Dirk Bogarde) who tortured her throughout her captivity. In 1974, she co-starred with Sean Connery in John Boorman's science fiction adventure Zardoz (1974), with Robert Mitchum in Żegnaj, laleczko (1975), with Woody Allen in his Wspomnienia z gwiezdnego pyłu (1980), and with Paul Newman in Sidney Lumet's Werdykt (1982). An actress always willing to take on bold and meaningful roles, Rampling had perhaps the most off-beat one in Nagisa Ôshima's 1986 comedy Max, moja miłość (1986) as Margaret, a woman in love with a chimpanzee. She has also voiced video games, such as The Ring.
