She continued her late career resurgence with a celebrated turn in the miniseries "Restless" (BBC One 2012) and an award-winning role in "45 Years" (2015), culminating in an Oscar nomination. In 2019, it was accounced that she would co-star in Denis Villeneuve's remake of "Dune" (2020). That character, Gaby, offers a bit of a sketch outline for the more psychologically complex but no less irascible Ruth in Matthew J. Saville’s poignantly realized directorial debut “Juniper,” based on his own prickly grandmother’s final days. Rampling plays an alcoholic war photographer staring down terminal illness who, now confined to a wheelchair, a buzzer, and a never-empty pitcher of watered-down gin, hopes for one last great love affair. Meanwhile, she’s under the de facto care of her self-destructive grandson Sam (George Ferrier), whom she becomes unexpectedly close with. When Jodorowsky was preparing it, he was thinking about having me play the role of Jessica.

I mean, the press is good, but audiences love it. I get so many messages from people really loving the film, and that’s so heartwarming because it’s rare you get that and it’s even rarer you get the chance to hear that. As you yourself said, it’s a lovely film, and I think someone calling it a lovely film is a really nice compliment for all of us—that we’ve made a story that people related to and had a good time watching. At the end of it all, it really is as simple as that.

: Modelling career, starting as actress
Obviously now I won’t be playing Lady Jessica, though. [Laughs.] But here we are, all these years later, putting a spin on this kind of film that hadn’t been done—they are very big films, but they have a real beauty and vision and an intimate touch. An alluring presence in features and on television since the 1960s, actress Charlotte Rampling defined sexual freedom and fearlessness over the ensuing decades in such films as "Georgy Girl" (1966), "The Damned" (1969), "Vanishing Point" (1971) and "The Night Porter" (1974). Though her immediate appeal was her physicality, Rampling became a cinematic icon in the 1970s, thanks to a screen presence that was at the same time confident, passionate and reserved. After star turns in "The Verdict" (1982) and "Angel Heart" (1987), her star waned in the late 1980s due to personal turmoil, though she rebounded in the late 1990s as Aunt Maude in "Wings of a Dove" (1997). Rampling went on to impress audiences with performances as Miss Havisham in "Great Expectations" (BBC, 1999), as well as critical darlings "Under the Sand" (2000) and "Swimming Pool" (2003).

Early life
That said, Rampling's most intense role was, arguably, that of a concentration camp survivor who is reunited with the Nazi guard (Dirk Bogarde) who tortured her throughout her captivity in 1974's The Night Porter. Charlotte Rampling grew up in England in the 1940s and 1950s, spending ample time across Europe. In her late teens, she began a career as a model, which quickly led to her being noticed and appearing many movies and TV shows. She first appeared an extra in The Beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night" (1964) and her official credited debut was a year later in the British comedy "Rotten to the Core" (1965). A few years into her acting career, she became a favorite of the '70s European indie film scene, with notable controversial roles in "The Damned" (1969), "The Night Porter" (1974), and "Max, Mon Amour" (1986).

“Another thing about acting is that I got bored very quickly. I’ve got a very, very restless character … It’s a beast.” Does she know where it comes from? In her hotel room, she pulls an armchair around to face mine, folds her arms, and sits forward, legs apart, as if she means business.

My husband at the time, Jean-Michel Jarre, really wanted to do the music. I loved this book and I loved the character of Jessica. He was unable to do it, and the next one was the David Lynch one, which I was not in. [Laughs.] Denis Villeneuve, I’ve been admiring his work, he makes very big films but he has a European heart — he’s Canadian, but he has a great intimacy in the way he works. When he asked me to do that, it seemed to make sense.
When people say, it’s getting rough and times are bad, that’s when creativity really needs to come to the fore, and we should all try harder to make things happen. Obviously, the world has to go ahead and do what it’s going to do, unfortunately. On our side, the artists, also, they can never sit back and say, “Oh yeah, we don’t have the money, we don’t have the people to follow us, we don’t have support.” You can’t say that. I don’t want to sit on the sidelines and wait for people. They have a lot of government support, fortunately. The actress has continued to work in sexually provocative films, such as Basic Instinct 2 (2006).
The director is best known for 1993 pic “Six Degrees of Separation” featuring Will Smith, Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland and for 2011’s “The Eye of the Storm” with Charlotte Rampling and Geoffrey Rush. He also directed HBO limited series “Empire Falls,” starring Ed Harris, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Helen Hunt, in 2005. You don’t quite know where you are.” Not that she is in any way ruffled by the train fiasco. It is hard to imagine her being ruffled by anything. She needs a minute to put her bags down, she says, as she checks in at the hotel, then I should come up to her room and we can talk. She puts on her sunglasses and disappears into the lift.
She briefly studied Spanish at a college in Madrid before dropping out in 1963 to travel with a cabaret troupe. Upon her return to England in 1964, she modeled to support herself while learning the craft of acting at the Royal Court Stage School. The character's combination of icy beauty, open sexuality, and disregard for responsibility - which the press dubbed "The Look," per a comment from her frequent co-star, Dirk Bogarde - would serve as a template for many of her future performances. Her most substantive work during this period, however, came in partnership with French director Francois Ozon. Their first collaboration, 2000's "Under the Sun," gave her talent a magnificent showcase as a woman crippled by grief and doubt over her husband's mysterious disappearance.
She married Southcombe and they had a son, Barnaby – now a film-maker, who directed Rampling in the movie I, Anna in 2012. It was such a contrast to how she felt in real life. Things were incredibly difficult, but there, I felt just great.” She didn’t go on to study drama, or perform in school plays.
After participating in several documentaries and the espionage thriller Spy Game (2001), Rampling starred as a conservative mystery writer in director François Ozon's Swimming Pool -- the role would win her an award for Best Actress from the European Film Academy in 2003. After her success with Swimming Pool, Rampling went on to play supporting roles in The Statement (2003) and Immortel Ad Vitam (2004). When Charlotte Rampling first read the script for her new film, Juniper, she decided to put it to one side.
In 1975, Rampling starred opposite Robert Mitchum in the post-noir detective thriller Farewell, My Lovely, and offered a passionate rendering of a violent heiress confined to a mental institution in the French/Italian/German collaboration La Chair de l'Orchidée. The actress' success continued to grow throughout the latter half of the 1970s, and in 1980, Rampling played a lead role alongside Woody Allen in Stardust Memories, the follow-up to the much-hailed Manhattan. Shortly afterward, Rampling could be seen as the deceitful Laura in director Sidney Lumet's courtroom drama The Verdict (1982) with Paul Newman. Rampling spent much of the mid-'80s filming in Europe; one of her most notable performances during that time was as the mysterious mistress of a murder victim in the French crime thriller On Ne Meurt Que Deux Fois, though she would return to America for Alan Parker's Angel Heart. The heavily praised voodoo-themed crime thriller featured Rampling as an ill-fated woman whose heart is irrevocably extracted from her body.
On small films in particular, there’s a real sense of camaraderie—this sense that you’re all on an adventure together. We were all in the outback together, and we had to stick it out, so you might as well get along. [Laughs.] George was asking me about acting and tips for his performance and things like that, but I just said, “George, forget about all that and just be you.” Quite often these young actors work with acting coaches before the role, and they can be almost overtrained.
