Sara Martins Wiki: Age, Childhood, and Education
Sara Martins was born on the 19th August 1977 in Faro, Portugal, of Cape Verdean-Portuguese ancestry. Her parents, a news reporter father, and a mother who was a model, moved to Paris, France, when Sara was three and where she spent her childhood, during which time she studied ballet and became the first person of part-African descent to become a part of the Lyon Opera.
Unfortunately, her plan to join the Paris Opera fell through, when she was told that she couldn’t perform because all other dancers were white. Instead, she was given a Baccalaureat with a theater option. She obtained DEUG in law when she was only 20, then joined the École des Enfants Terribles in Paris, and completed an acting degree at the highly competitive French National Academy of Dramatic Arts. Thanks to her multiple nationalities, Sara is completely fluent in Portuguese, French and English, which has certainly helped her in her career.
