This day when… Estelle Lefébure almost played the role of Roxane in Cyrano de Bergerac
This Monday, March 7, on M6, Estelle Lefébure is on the program of the play “Les Grandes ambitions”, broadcast live from the stage of the Madeleine, in Paris. A consecration for the one whose acting career took a little time to start….
in 1989 Estelle Lefebure is 23 years old and shines on the catwalks when she goes through a casting that might be decisive for the profession of actress, which she is already beginning to consider as a possible career change outside of fashion.
At that time, the director Jean-Paul Rappeneau is looking for his Roxane to give the reply to Gérard Depardieu in his “Cyrano de Bergerac”. The stakes are high. Estelle Lefébure passes several tests and ends up nurturing the legitimate hope of winning the role. “in the end, she confided later to the Parisian, there was only Anne Brochet and I left… I think they preferred to choose someone with experience.”
Estelle Lefébure has since played in several films and series
This missed opportunity will delay its launch in this new direction. “At the time, my modeling career was going well, so I didn’t have the courage to invest myself in comedy.” Later, Estelle Lefébure will play the role of Emma in the series Alice Nevers, the judge is a woman. Before get several small roles in the cinemain movies Chrysalis, Border(s) or The actresses ball of Maïwenn in 2009.
And today, it is at the theater that the very proud mother of Ilona and Emma is illustrated in a ratings success. The piece “Les grandes ambitions” by and with Philippe Lellouche with M. Pokora is proving to be a full box to watch this evening.
