's film The Knack ...and How to Get It in 1965, which was followed a year later by the role of Meredith in the film Georgy Girl
. She also played gunfighter Hana Wilde in "The Superlative Seven", a 1967 episode of The Avengers
. After this, her acting career blossomed in both English and French cinema.
Despite an early flurry of success, she told The Independent
, "We weren't happy. It was a nightmare, breaking the rules and all that. Everyone seemed to be having fun, but they were taking so many drugs they wouldn't know it anyway."
Rampling has performed controversial roles. In 1969, in Luchino Visconti
's The Damned (La Caduta degli dei), she played a young wife sent to a Nazi concentration camp. Critics praised her performance, and it cast her in a whole new image: mysterious, sensitive, and ultimately tragic. "The Look" as co-star Dirk Bogarde
called it, became her trademark. In 1974's The Night Porter
she portrayed a former concentration camp inmate who after the war meets a former camp guard with whom she had an ambiguous relationship, and their relationship resumes. Bogarde played the camp guard. In Max mon amour, she played a woman who fell in love with a chimpanzee.
Rampling gained recognition from American audiences in a remake of Raymond Chandler
's detective story Farewell, My Lovely
(1975) and later with Woody Allen
's Stardust Memories
(1980) and particularly in The Verdict
(1982), an acclaimed drama directed by Sidney Lumet
that starred Paul Newman
.
Rampling credits François Ozon
with drawing her back to film in the 2000s, a period when she came to terms with the death of her oldest sister Sarah, who, after giving birth prematurely in 1966, committed suicide
at 23. "I thought that after such a long time of not letting her be with me," she told The Guardian
, "I would like to bring her back into my life." The character she played in Ozon's Swimming Pool
(2003), Sarah Morton, was named in her sister's honor. For most of Rampling's life, she would say only that her sister had died of a brain hemorrhage; when she and her father heard the news, they agreed they would never let her mother know the truth. They kept their secret until Rampling's mother died in 2001.
At 59, Rampling appeared in Laurent Cantet
's Heading South (Vers le Sud), a 2005 film about sexual tourism. She plays Ellen, a professor of French literature
and single Englishwoman, who holidays in 1970s Haiti
to get the sexual attention she does not get at home.
On her choice of roles, Rampling says, "I generally don't make films to entertain people. I choose the parts that challenge me to break through my own barriers. A need to devour, punish, humiliate, or surrender seems to be a primal part of human nature, and it's certainly a big part of sex. To discover what normal means, you have to surf a tide of weirdness."
The actress has continued to work in sexually provocative films such as Swimming Pool
and Basic Instinct 2
. More recently, she portrayed the mother of Keira Knightley
's character in the title role in 2008's The Duchess
.
In 2002, she also recorded an album entitled Comme Une Femme. It is in both French and English, and includes parts that are spoken word as well as tracks Rampling sang.

with a male model, Randall Laurence, and had one child, Barnaby Southcombe (who is now a successful television director) before divorcing in 1976. In 1974, Rampling was quoted by the syndicated columnist Earl Wilson as saying: "There are so many misunderstandings in life. I once caused a scandal by saying I lived with two men [...] I didn't mean it in a sexual sense [...] We were just like any people sharing an apartment." In 1978, Rampling married the French composer
Jean Michel Jarre
and had a second son, magician David Jarre. She also raised stepdaughter Émilie Jarre, now a fashion designer. The marriage was publicly dissolved in 1997 when she found out from tabloid newspaper stories about Jarre's affairs with other women and had a nervous breakdown
