[edit] Early life
Born as Clémence Guichard in Meudon,[1] a southwestern suburb of Paris, the daughter of actor/writer Étienne Guichard and a French teacher, Poésy took her mother's maiden name as her stage name. She was sent to an alternative school in Meudon. She was not the "popular girl" at school, and described herself as maladjusted and "a bit strange".[2] Her father gave Poésy her first acting job when she was a child; then she had two lines at age 14.[citation needed] She has a younger sister, Maëlle Poésy-Guichard, who is also an actress.[3]

Since leaving La Source — the bilingual alternative school she attended at the age of 16 — Poesy has studied drama at CNSAD, the Atelier International de Blanche Salant et Paul Weaver, and the University of Nanterre, where she has since appeared in a number of French film, television, and stage productions.[citation needed]
