Laetitia's father
Dominique Casta grew up in Corsica. At the age of eight his family
moved to France, and he decided to join them. They settled down in
Normandy*** Some years after he meet a young girl named Line
Blin. They soon fell i love and got married . Line gave up her
career to devote herself for her family. They got themselves three much
loved children.
Dominique says: "The
family is sacred to us in Corsica, and I am convinced that is exactly what
has made the difference for my family. At home Laetitia is not the center
of the world, and there is no professional commitment that would prevent
us from spending Christmas together. Of course she lives her own life now,
but she knows that life consists of hard work and determination. She knows
that things do not always come easily, nor are they always handed to you
on a silver platter. I am not at all afraid that success will change her
because I know the education she receives at home has made a deep
impression on her. Perhaps we have been strict, but at least we are not
parents who let their children grow up without guidance and authority, who
don't know their children anymore."* |

Laetitia's full name is Laetitia Maria Laure Casta. She
was born the 11 May 1978 in Pont - Audemer, Normandy, France. Her
big-brother was born two years before that. When Laetitia was around twelve,
she got a little sister, Marie-Ange.
They grew up at the
countryside in Normandy. Laetitia says:
"I lived for
ten years in absolute simplicity, surrounded by nature with very few
neighbours. I could play with the frogs in the river or wander through the
woods with absolute freedom. It was fantastic. Even today, I love to
sometimes throw my arms around a tree. It gives me energy and makes me
feel close to nature." **

This four
pictures with Marie-Ange and Laetitia are among my favourite pictures,
really beautiful. They are from a Kathleen Madden ad taken in 2001. Think
it's the first time Marie-Ange follows in her sister's footprints. |

Laetitia's family
today. |
In
between the 18 and 19 October the year 2001, Laetitia Casta and
Stephane Sednaoui got their first baby. A girl, she's got the name
Sahteene (pronounced Satine).
Congratulate. The parents guard their daughter from the media, this
is one of the few official pictures of Sahteene (February
2002). About becoming a mother
and what that changes in your life, Laetitia tells this:
"Everything; for life itself! It's corny to say so, but it's
simply the most beautiful thing that exists in the world. One matures,
gets more confidence in oneself. The priorities are different. But there's
nothing really special to say. I'm simply feeling like millions of
anonymous women who brought their child in the world." (source
