Who is the French actress Nadia Fares?
It is noted that actress Nadia Fares was born in Morocco in 1968 and moved with her family to southern France at an early age, where she began to show signs of her talent by participating in several television works, although she first caught the public's attention in the nineties and early new millennium.
By 2002, Nadia Fares' life saw a significant transformation after her marriage to American producer Steve Chasman, where she moved to the United States, specifically to Los Angeles, in a move that changed her personal and professional course.
Despite the couple's separation about four years ago, Fares spoke of that period as a long journey during which she devoted her time to starting a family, having been blessed with two daughters, Celia and Shana, and focusing mainly on her family life, which led her to temporarily withdraw from the artistic scene.
Nadia Fares was associated with several prominent works, including the series “Elles n'oublient jamais”, as well as the comedy film “Les Démons de Jésus”, and the film “Les Rivières pourpres” by director Mathieu Kassovitz, alongside the star Jean Reno, a work that cemented her status as one of the leading ladies of French cinema.
Her artistic career paused for a long period following her move to the United States, where she remained away from the screen for nearly ten years between 2007 and 2017, especially after undergoing brain surgery in 2007.
However, she later returned to artistic activity, resuming her presence in France after her separation, through her participation in the comedy film “Chacun sa vie et son intime conviction”, as well as appearing in the series “Marseille” which was broadcast on Netflix.
