Biography
Geneviève Bujold (born July 1, 1942) is a Canadian stage and screen actress, best known for her portrayal of Anne Boleyn in the 1969 film Anne of the Thousand Days, for which she won a Golden Globe Award for best actress and was nominated for an Academy Award.
She made her TV debut with Le square (1963), a 60-minute TV film based on a play by Marguerite Duras, co-starring Georges Groulx. Her Canadian feature film debut was in Amanita Pestilens (1963).
She appeared in Michel Brault's film Between Salt and Sweet Water (1967), then went to New York to play the title role in a production of Saint Joan (1967) for Hallmark Hall of Fame on American TV. Although she said she preferred film most and television least out of all the mediums, she received great acclaim for this including an Emmy nomination.
In Canada, she starred in Isabel (1968), written and directed by her then-husband Paul Almond. It was one of the first Canadian films to be picked up for distribution by a major Hollywood studio. International recognition came in 1969, when she starred as Anne Boleyn in Charles Jarrott's film Anne of the Thousand Days, with Richard Burton. Producer Hal B. Wallis cast her after seeing her in Isabel. For her performance, she received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress. It was released by Universal who signed her to a three-picture contract.
Her other film credits include The Trojan Women (1971), Earthquake (1974), Obsession (1976), Coma (1978) with Michael Douglas, Murder by Decree (1979), Tightrope (1984) with Clint Eastwood, Choose Me (1984), and Dead Ringers (1988) with Jeremy Irons.
