Pauline Clément


Pauline Clément is a French actress. After a period of academic failure linked to dyslexia, she pursued several lines of employment including carpentry, cabinetmaking and aesthetics before discovering her passion for theater and improvisation.
Clément is known for performing across a range of registers and platforms, including the Comédie-Française, satirical sketches and the mini series Abonne-toi of Yes vous aime on YouTube. Explaining her choice of an atypical and offbeat career, she stated: "It's true that it sometimes gives me the impression of leading a double life but I find my balance there. At the Comédie-Française, they choose the roles for me, it is oriented towards what I can play, even if they are pieces that are very different from each other, and sometimes very modern. In Yes, I am freer, I can create characters."

At the Comédie-Française

She then appeared in La Règle du jeu, Georges Feydeau's L'Hôtel du libre-échange, and performed Hyacinte in Les Fourberies de Scapin of Molière.
In 2020, she was appointed to the Molières Awards in the category 'female revelation' for her role in A Flea in Her Ear of Feydeau, produced by Lilo Baur.
