Marie-Pierre Pruvot (also known under the pseudonym Marie-Pier Ysser; born 11 November 1935) is a French transgender woman who performed under the stage name Bambi.[1] She performed in a transgender showgirl revue at Le Carrousel de Paris for approximately 20 years.[2]

While performing regularly, she appeared in several documentaries, including the 1959 film Costa Azzurra, directed by Vittorio Sala[3] and the 1963 film 90 notti in giro per il mondo, directed by Mina Loy.[4] During her entertainment career, she acquired university degrees at the Sorbonne in Paris, subsequently becoming a teacher of literature in 1974.[5] She was initially appointed in Cherbourg; two years later, she began teaching at Garges-lès-Gonesse, and remained there for the next 25 years. She was honored with induction into the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.[6]

She was profiled in Sébastien Lifshitz's documentary film Bambi, which won the Teddy Award for Best Documentary Film at the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival.[7]
