Genevieve Bujold: Anne Boleyn
built 675 days ago
The attractive, often somber French-Canadian film star Genevieve Bujold established herself as a thoughtful, mature screen lead in the 1960s, becoming an international star with "Anne of the Thousand Days" (1969). In the 70s, she appeared in a string of run-of-the-mill movies before returning to form in the 80s.

In this 1969 historical drama, Genevieve Bujold not only dons the costumes of Anne Boleyn, the doomed second wife of Henry VIII, but ... her personal qualities. Bujold is Boleyn, with beauty enough to attract a king and guile enough to win him before she loses her head to the treachery of court politics.

Bujold then traveled to Britain to star as Anne Boleyn in Anne of the Thousand Days, a performance which won her an Academy Award nomination and made her a star. A three-picture deal with Universal followed, but she first detoured back to Canada to star in Almond's 1970 film Act of the Heart. Universal then cast her as the titular Mary Queen of Scots, but, fearing typecasting, Bujold refused the role, resulting in a lawsuit from the studio. Instead of paying damages, she returned to Europe to co-star in The Trojan Women, which failed to measure up to box-office expectations. Almond's Journey and Claud Jutra's 1973 feature Kamouraska further derailed her career, and after appearing opposite Alec Guinness in Caesar and Anthony for British television she journeyed to Hollywood, where as part of her Universal pact the studio pointed her to 1974's disaster epic Earthquake. After again starring with Belmondo in de Broca's L'Incorrigible, Bujold made 1976's Swashbuckler to appease Universal.

In der Hollywood-Produktion Königin für tausend Tage (1969) erntete sie für die Titelrolle der Anne Boleyn einen Golden Globe Award und eine Oscar-Nominierung. 1971 zog sie ihre Zusage für Maria Stuart, Königin von Schottland zurück und wurde vom Studio auf 750.000 US-Dollar Schadensersatz verklagt. 1974 trat sie in dem Katastrophenfilm Erdbeben auf. Ein Jahr später besetzte sie de Broca neben Jean-Paul Belmondo in Der Unverbesserliche.
