Known for having held, from 2012 to 2019, the role of Coralie in the television series More beautiful lifeSara Mortensen will star tonight in the film 15 years and a half with Daniel Auteuil. On July 20, she burst onto the screen in the detective series Astrid and Raphaelle broadcast on France 2. A lively career for the 42-year-old actress, who, however, saw herself more “head pediatrician” younger, as she revealed in an interview with Releasein June 2021.
She was notably questioned during this interview about her domestic accident which almost deprived her of her left eye when she was 4 years old. An incident that led her to rub shoulders with hospitals for a long time, since she was operated on a dozen times. She also had to follow”countless rehabilitation sessions that have been useless” she confided. And for good reason, she never fully regained her sight. “Between Bacon and Picasso, with a blinker, you know?” she quipped in order to put words to her disability.
Size support
A “difference” which earned him many reflections at school. “You can imagine that a child with an eye like that, constantly with shields, glasses, it provokes remarks, mockery“she explained, before revealing, during this interview, to have “accustomed“to this handicap and to be proud of it today, when she was ashamed of it for a long time. “JI see colors no one else seesthe sunsets are crazy” she said. A vision problem which has therefore become a strength, an advantage for the Franco-Norwegian, and not Danish.
She was also able to count on the support of her parents, who allowed her to do activities that were not recommended by doctors, such as cycling. They also accepted that she join a circus school, despite “the prognosis of lack of balance“. Her sight problem did not prevent her from subsequently embarking on a career in cinema, which is now known to everyone.
