Nadine Tallier

Nadine de Rothschild, born Nadine Nelly Jeannette Lhopitalier on April 18, 1932, in Saint-Quentin, Aisne, France, is a distinguished French author and former actress, recognized as the widow of banker Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild from the illustrious Rothschild family.

Growing up without her father, Nadine left home at the age of 14 to work in a Peugeot factory. Her life took a pivotal turn two years later when she became a muse for the painter Jean-Gabriel Domergue, which introduced her to the realms of theater and cinema. Adopting the stage name Nadine Tallier, she embarked on an acting career that spanned from 1952 to 1964, featuring in numerous roles that showcased her talent.

In 1962, she married Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild, a prominent figure in private banking and the head of the Edmond de Rothschild Group. Nadine, originally Roman Catholic, converted to Judaism, emphasizing the importance of her family's heritage. Together, they had a son, Benjamin de Rothschild, born in 1963.

After the passing of her husband in 1997, Nadine gained notoriety for her literary works, including a book on etiquette titled *Le Bonheur de Séduire l'Art de Réussir* and her autobiography *La baronne rentre à cinq heures*. In 2004, she founded the Nadine de Rothschild International Way of Life Academy in Geneva. Despite challenges within the family, including disagreements over the family fortune, she maintained a significant stake in the Edmond de Rothschild Group until transferring her shares to the Pictet bank in 2014 and 2019.
