Karine Vanasse stars as Margaux LeMarchal on "Revenge," the intelligent and ambitious French businesswoman who arrives in the Hamptons and becomes a major force in the show’s later seasons. As the daughter of media mogul Pascal LeMarchal, Margaux is drawn into both the elite social world and the dangerous personal rivalries surrounding Emily, Daniel, and Victoria. Over time, she evolves from a poised outsider into one of the series’ most important later players, with storylines involving romance, betrayal, business power, and revenge of her own.
Before joining "Revenge," Vanasse had already established a notable career in French-Canadian and international film and television. She became known for acclaimed performances in projects from Canada and abroad, building a reputation as a strong dramatic actress with a polished screen presence. Her work before "Revenge" gave her an international profile that made her a natural fit for the series’ sophisticated later ensemble.
In addition to her work on "Revenge," Vanasse has continued acting in both French- and English-language productions, including major television roles and film performances. Her career reflects a range that extends across multiple markets and genres, from psychological drama to political and character-driven stories. Margaux remains one of her best-known American television roles from this period.
Outside of "Revenge," Vanasse has continued building an international acting career marked by dramatic depth and versatility. Her portrayal of Margaux gives the series one of its most prominent later-season women, adding glamour, intelligence, and volatility to the show’s final years. On "Revenge," she brings elegance and emotional force to a character whose shifting loyalties help drive the endgame of the series.
