The 73-year-old, who started her career as a
model, is famed for starring in arthouse films.
She is best known for playing a concentration camp survivor in
Liliana Cavani's "The Night Porter" (1974).
Rampling has starred in a wide range of other films, including "Georgy
Girl" (1966) with Lynn Redgrave, Woody Allen's Stardust Memories
(1980) and several movies by French director Francois Ozon in
the 2000s.
In 2015, she won the Berlinale festival's Silver Bear for Best
Actress in her role as a wife in Andrew Haigh's romantic drama
"45 Years" about a couple whose marriage ends up in crisis as
they prepare to celebrate their 45th wedding anniversary.
"I'm really pleased to get the bear because I've got a silver
one and he was asking me the other day: 'Where's the gold one?'
So I said: 'Well I'm going to be back soon with it,' " Rampling
told a news conference in Berlin.
"They can box together. No, it's great, especially because it's
with Dieter Kosslick, who I admire enormously and I've worked so
much with him and so it's very moving."
Berlinale director Kosslick has called Rampling "an icon of
unconventional and exciting cinema".
