SOPHIE MARCEAU : SA FILLE JULIETTE LEMLEY POURSUIT L'HÉRITAGE FAMILIAL AVEC UN PROJET D'ENVERGURE,

Sophie Marceau: Her daughter Juliette Lemley carries on the family legacy with a major project, alongside another child of the family. At 59, Sophie Marceau is the mother of two children, born from her past relationships with Polish director Andrzej Zulawski and American producer Jim Lemley. While Vincent Zulawski, the actress's son, writes poetry and is trying to make it as a director, her daughter Juliette Lemley worked as a production assistant in a theater before becoming an actress. She will soon be appearing on television in a France 2 drama. It's hard to imagine Sophie Marceau with grown children, as her still-youthful face reminds us of her early days in her iconic role as Vic in La Boum... And yet, the 59-year-old French actress now sees her son and daughter following in her footsteps and trying to make it in their own right. Her children, born from two relationships, are no longer children: at 30, Vincent Zulawski has already directed two short films and published two collections of poems, and Juliette Lemley, who turns 24 this Saturday, June 13, 2026, is preparing to make her television debut. Her last public appearance alongside her mother was at the Schiaparelli fashion show in January 2026, where she posed for photographers. Otherwise, Juliette Lemley is a young woman who seems to prefer the shadows to the spotlight. The daughter of Sophie Marceau and producer Jim Lemley studied in London before becoming Al Pacino's personal assistant in 2023, then joining the production company Cinéfrance as an intern and becoming a production assistant at the Théâtre de Paris. So, this upcoming spotlight on France Télévisions represents a giant leap for Juliette Lemley. Sophie Marceau: Her daughter Juliette Lemley lands a recurring supporting role in a France 2 crime drama. Of course, she grew up immersed in this world, with a star actress mother and a father who notably produced the film Anna Karenina, but Juliette Lemley reportedly landed this series project without leveraging her family connections. "She never spoke about her mother. She has this very pleasant side that stems from discretion and modesty," a source told Paris Match in September 2025. On RTL radio, Sophie Marceau herself, speaking to Marc-Olivier Fogiel in February 2026, discussed her daughter's entry into a field she knows all too well: "Like father, like daughter... My children will do what they want and, above all, they will do what they can. What's important is that they do... It's doing things that's important." The message was received loud and clear by Juliette Lemley, who is taking the plunge in front of the camera with this four-episode, 52-minute police mini-series, entitled "Temps mort" (Dead Time), scheduled to air on France 2. It's a way for her to see if she enjoys this profession as much as her illustrious predecessors. Filming in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region until the end of June, Juliette Lemley plays the recurring supporting role of Clara and shares the cast with big names like Claire Borotra, Cristiana Réali, and Thierry Godard. The premise of this series, directed by Stéphanie Pillonca, who will soon be adapting a novel by Mélissa Da Costa for the big screen, is an investigation into the disappearance of a young player from a women's handball club. Also among the supporting cast of this television project is another family favorite, Victor Kervern, son of Gustave Kervern. "She's a young person becoming an adult. I find it wonderful to accompany her, to see her evolve, to become independent," said Sophie Marceau, moved about Juliette Lemley, on the set of Quotidien in February 2026. Seeing her 24-year-old daughter fly on her own and take risks by exposing herself alone, that's what makes this mother proud... who could easily be mistaken for a big sister!
