Biography
Trintignant was born in Nice. She is the sister of the late actors Christian Marquand and Serge Marquand. In 1960, she married French actor Jean-Louis Trintignant, who had already starred in several of her early films. The couple had three children: a daughter, actress Marie Trintignant; another daughter, Pauline (who died as an infant); and a son, actor and screenwriter Vincent Trintignant-Corneau. They separated in 1976. Following their split, Nadine Trintignant started a relationship with French director Alain Corneau, who later adopted her children Marie and Vincent. Trintignant and Corneau lived together for 37 years until his death in 2010.
Trintignant has suffered the loss of two of her three children. In 1970, her nine-month-old daughter Pauline died of crib death, and in 2003 her older daughter Marie was murdered by her boyfriend, French musician Bertrand Cantat, during a domestic dispute.
