From a working class background, Marie Rivi�re grew up on a housing estate/project in Montreuil before working as a schoolteacher, then as a shop assistant. At 21, having seen L'Amour l'apr�s-midi she sent a letter and photo to �ric Rohmer. He saw her in his office at Films du Losange, in the presence of Arielle Dombasle and Thierry Lhermitte, and offered her a small role in Perceval le Gallois. Two years later she appeared in Rohmer's The Aviator's Wife, the first in the Com�dies et Proverbes series. The Green Ray, in which she played the fragile dreamer Delphine, was a critical and popular success, and won the Golden Lion at Venice. In 1998 she appeared again for Rohmer in Conte d'automne, alongside another Rohmer muse, B�atrice Romand. She co-directed her first film in 1993, with Marc Rivi�re, La R�gle du Silence.
