- Lydie M. Denier is an accomplished actress and filmmaker whose career spans over seventy television series and feature films. Best known for her roles as Yasmine Bernoudi on General Hospital, Jane in the television series Tarzan, and Nicole in Acapulco Heat, Lydie has long been celebrated for her charisma, elegance, and emotional depth on screen. On stage, she portrayed the legendary Greta Garbo in the title role of a critically acclaimed theatrical production, bringing timeless sophistication and humanity to the part. Born in the French countryside, Lydie grew up enchanted by classic American cinema, dreaming of one day joining the world that flickered before her on screen. Her path has taken her across continents and cultures, enriching her perspective and fueling her passion for authentic storytelling. Today, Lydie continues to balance her acting career with her work as a filmmaker, writer, and executive producer. She just completed filming the web series Necessary Evil, while also developing new creative projects that explore themes of love, loss, memory, and resilience - a natural evolution of her lifelong fascination with the human spirit. As a filmmaker, she is dedicated to mentoring emerging talent and helping young storytellers bring their visions to life. Her directorial debut, Unforgotten Box, marks the beginning of this new creative chapter - a deeply personal documentary that blends memory and emotion through an intimate cinematic lens. When she isn't on set, writing, or directing, Lydie can often be found in her Laguna Beach home, cooking with the same artistry and passion she brings to film. She also hosts Breaking Bread with Lydie Denier on her YouTube channel, where food, conversation, and creativity meet at the same table.

- [casting couch] I've been rudely propositioned many times. Sometimes, by famous and rich filmmakers who love to boast about their past conquests. But I've been working since I was 14, and have heard just about everything, There was never a time when I was a naive, young girl dying to get a part.
- [filming scenes naked] Europeans, in general, view nudity in a much more natural way than Americans and this probably makes it easier for European actors to do scenes without clothes. For instance, my role in Red Shoe Diaries required a steamy shower scene with another actress. My feeling on this is that as long as the other actress does not feel uncomfortable, then I will not feel uncomfortable.
- [sex scenes] Overall, love scenes have never really been a problem for me, except for once, when I was going to do a movie with an actor who has a reputation for going too far. I had a stipulation written in my contract to make sure there were no problems, and also there was a Screen Actors Guild representative on the set during the love scene.
- [Americans and nudity] Americans are funny. Here they can be total prudes but take them to a nude beach in Europe, and they're the first ones to shed their clothes.
- [Indecent Proposal] Another fairly erotic movie I saw and loved. The only thing is men with a million dollars never look like Robert Redford. They don't have his charm or elegance. That was unrealistic.
