rance's far-right chief Marine Le Pen, who Tuesday clung on to her dream of a fourth run at the presidency despite an embezzlement verdict, has spent years preparing the family party for power. "My skin's quite tough. If someone tries to kill me, they'd better have a well-sharpened blade. I think I have a certain resilience," she said last week. A tough talker with a blonde bob haircut, the 57-year-old firebrand was brought up in a deeply political household.
Born in 1968, Le Pen was just four years old when her father Jean-Marie co-founded the Front (FN), France's main postwar far-right movement. She was six when her father -- a veteran of the war in Algeria that led to the former French colony's independence -- ran for the first of five times for president.
