Editing Julie Delpy (section)

==Family==
Delpy was born in [[Paris]], the only child of [[Albert Delpy]], a French actor and theater director born in Vietnam, and Marie Pillet, a French actress in feature films and the [[avant-garde]] theater. Her mother was also known for signing the 1971 ''[[Manifesto of the 343]]'', signed by women demanding reproductive rights and admitting to having abortions when they were illegal in France. In Delpy's 2007 film ''[[2 Days in Paris]]'', her character's mother was played by her real mother and acknowledges signing the manifesto, mirroring her real life. Pillet died in 2009.

Julie's parents exposed her to the arts at an early age. She said:

{{blockquote|I couldn't hope for better parents. They really raised me with a love of art, bringing me to museums and seeing things that a child wouldn't see at that age. I would see [[Ingmar Bergman]] movies when I was 9 and totally go for it. And they would bring me to see [[Francis Bacon (artist)|Francis Bacon]]'s paintings, which I loved: so dark and at the same time it's so wonderful.<ref name="madison.mrmovietimes.com">{{cite web|title=Julie Delpy Movie and Career Information|url=http://madison.mrmovietimes.com/celebrity/Julie-Delpy.html|website=Movie Times|access-date=30 October 2011|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304070804/http://madison.mrmovietimes.com/celebrity/Julie-Delpy.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>|sign=|source=}}
