Biography

Lisa Azuelos is the daughter of French singer and actress Marie Laforêt and of Judas Azuelos, a Moroccan Jew of Sephardic descent. She has a younger brother and a step-sister, Deborah.

Her parents separated when she was 2 years old. Her mother kept her and sent her with her brother to a Swiss boarding school, "Les Sept Nains", where children were allegedly maltreated physically and mentally. Afterwards the two siblings were sent to live with someone in a small village in the department of Sarthe.

She stayed with her father since the age of twelve. That is the time she discovered his Sephardic heritage.

Lisa Azuelos was introduced to her future husband, film producer Patrick Alessandrin, by Luc Besson. The couple has three children, Carmen, Illan and Thaïs. They divorced after 11 years of marriage.

Lisa Azuelos has a film production company, which she named Bethsabée Mucho after her paternal great-grandmother Bethsabée.
