Life and career
Leroy-Beaulieu in 1988

Leroy-Beaulieu was born in Rome, Italy.[1] After spending her childhood in Italy, she went to Paris at 16 to study drama against the advice of her parents; her father, actor Philippe Leroy-Beaulieu, especially tried to keep her from pursuing a career that followed in his footsteps but was unsuccessful. After appearing on the stage, Leroy-Beaulieu made her screen début in Roger Vadim's 1983 comedy-drama film Surprise Party.[1][2] The following year, she played Fauve Mistral in the 1984 mini-series version of Judith Krantz's novel Mistral's Daughter.[1]

In 1985, Leroy-Beaulieu played her first major screen role (and earned a nomination for the César Award for Most Promising Actress), playing the distraught mother in the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film-nominated comedy Trois hommes et un couffin (Three Men and a Cradle).[3] The success of Coline Serreau's comedy helped her film career and a string of parts in costume films followed such films as Andrzej Wajda's Les Possédés in 1988, Philippe Le Guay's Les Deux Fragonard, and Robert Enrico's and Richard T. Heffron's La Révolution française (Mademoiselle Leroy-Beaulieu acted out the role of Charlotte Corday in the latter production), whose release in 1989 was timed to coincide with celebrations for the bi-centenary of the 1789 Revolution.

Leroy-Beaulieu starred in the title role of the French film Natalia, which was screened at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival.[4] The following years, she acted in a various European movies, notable A Soul Split in Two (1993), Neuf mois (1994), Un eroe borghese (1995), Vatel (2000), and Two Brothers (2004). On television, she played Catherine Barneville in the comedy series, Call My Agent! (2015-18), and starred as a lead character in the detective series, Agathe Koltès (2016-19). In 2020, she began starring as Sylvie Grateau in the Netflix comedy-drama series, Emily in Paris. In 2022, she appeared as Monique Ritz, widow of Charles Ritz in the episode of Netflix period drama series, The Crown, and was cast in the Apple TV+ series, Liaison.[5]
