Mylene Gautier was born on September the 12th
1961 at Pierrefonds; city located around 20km away from Montreal. She is the
youngest of 4 kids; her father (Max Gautier) is an engineer at the department
of Civil Engineering and worked on the Manicouagan dam construction site. Her
mother (Marguerite Martin) was a housewife. Surrounded by her brothers and
sisters, she was living in wealthy conditions. She is used to saying that she
only has a few memories of her childhood, mostly from the snow and the maple
syrup she used to eat. She was already very fond of animals and thought about
becoming a veterinarian. She did not make waves at school; she was a distant
and shy student. In the early 70’s, the family moved back to France, in the
city of Ville d’Avray, which will be traumatic to Mylene. Isolated in the grey
environment of the Parisian suburbs, she had been missing her more cheerful
Canada. Mylene often went to the Hospital at Garches to visit sick children. It
seemed to comfort her. She then attended the horse riding classes at the Cadre
Noir at Saumur. Then at 18 years old, on September 14th 1979, she left high
school two days after having started studying humanities.
Mylene decided then to start an artistic career. She would start by theater and
enrolled at the famous Cours Florent and attended Daniel Mesquish (comedian)
classes. She played the role of Zezette directed by her friend Thierry Mugler

and Baudelaire poetry. It was at this time that she met one of the most
important persons for her career: Laurent Boutonnat.Читать весь материал.
