Charlotte Alexandra Seeley, born in England in 1955, embarked on an acting career in France, adopting the stage name Charlotte Alexandra, from 1974 to 1976. During this period, she became synonymous with Catherine Breillat's groundbreaking and controversial film, A Real Young Girl, released in 1976. Not conventionally beautiful, Charlotte Alexandra's confidence in her physical appearance and willingness to push boundaries made her an ideal choice for the role.
In A Real Young Girl, she played the lead character, Alice Bonnard, a 14-year-old girl, although she was 20 years old at the time of filming. Her portrayal of Alice, a surly and aggressive young girl exploring her fledgling sexuality, left a lasting impression on audiences.
In addition to A Real Young Girl, Charlotte Alexandra appeared in several French films, with the exception of Jean-Daniel Pollet's charming tango tale, L'acrobate, which was released in 1976. The majority of these films were soft-core pornography.
Charlotte Alexandra's career in England, under the stage name Charlotte Seeley, was marked by less provocative roles. However, it's worth noting that one of her final roles was in Personal Services, a 1987 film directed by Terry Jones, which poked fun at the sex films she had made in France.
