Anne Sinclair (French pronunciation: [an sɛ̃ˈklɛʁ]; born Anne-Élise Schwartz, 15 July 1948) is an American-born French television and radio interviewer, best known as the former wife of the French politician Dominique Strauss-Kahn. She hosted one of the most popular political shows for more than thirteen years on TF1, the largest European private TV channel. She is heiress to much of the fortune of her maternal grandfather, Paul Rosenberg. She covered the 2008 US presidential campaign for the French Sunday newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche and the French TV channel Canal+. She married Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 1991 and divorced him in 2013 in the aftermath of the New York v. Strauss-Kahn case. She was portrayed in the 2014 feature film Welcome to New York.
She was born Anne-Elise Schwartz on 15 July 1948 in New York to Joseph-Robert Schwartz (changed to Sinclair in 1949) and Micheline Nanette Rosenberg. Both parents were French-born Jews who had married pre-war, and who with Paul Rosenberg and his wife had fled from the Nazi persecution of Jews after the 1940 Nazi invasion of France. Via her mother she is the maternal granddaughter of Paul Rosenberg, one of France's and later New York's biggest art dealers.
A few years after her birth, the family returned to France. She attended the Cours Hattemer, a private school. She majored in politics at the Paris Institute of Political Studies and in law at the University of Paris.
