Anne Sinclair

Anne Sinclair, born Anne-Élise Schwartz on July 15, 1948, in New York City, is a prominent French-American journalist known for her impactful work in television and radio. As the host of the acclaimed political talk show "7/7" on TF1 from 1984 to 1997, she became a leading figure in French journalism, conducting over 500 interviews with notable personalities, including French presidents François Mitterrand and Nicolas Sarkozy, US President Bill Clinton, and international figures like Mikhail Gorbachev and Hillary Clinton. Her ability to engage with both political leaders and cultural icons, such as Madonna and Woody Allen, set her apart in the media landscape.

Sinclair, who comes from a distinguished lineage as the granddaughter of renowned art dealer Paul Rosenberg, moved to France shortly after her birth. She pursued her education in politics at Sciences Po and studied law at the University of Paris. Her career began at Europe 1, a leading radio station, before she transitioned to television.

In recognition of her contributions to journalism, Sinclair received three Sept d'Or awards, comparable to the Emmys in the United States. After stepping away from "7/7" due to potential conflicts of interest arising from her marriage to politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn, she launched an internet venture and later a cultural radio program called "Libre Cours" on France Inter. Sinclair has also authored bestselling books on politics, including "Deux ou trois choses que je sais d'eux" and "Caméra Subjective."
