February 21, 2022 marks the 39th birthday of Melanie Laurent, actress, director, screenwriter and singer. In honor of this event, to remember the French women who became famous in world cinema
Melanie Lauren
This girl with the character became known outside France thanks to Tarantino and her role in his film Inglourious Basterds. In general, Laurent has been filming for a long time, from the age of 14, she is known and loved in her homeland. Best friend of Marion Cotillard, Melanie also tries to work on international projects – British and Canadian. And, of course, Hollywood: one of the latest films with her participation is the action movie 6 Feet Under directed by Michael Bay. In addition to working with others, Melanie Laurent works hard for herself – she makes films as a director and records albums.
Sophie Marceau
Fame came to French movie star Sophie Marceau at a very young age: at the age of 14, the actress played a major role in the movie Boom, which became known to the whole world. The film made her a real star, and two years later Sophie starred and received the Cesar Award as the best promising actress. While still a teenager, she starred with Jean-Paul Belmondo, Catherine Deneuve, and other A-list actors. A few, but notable roles in Hollywood followed, and in 1999 Marceau became a Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough with Pierce Brosnan. In 2007, Sophie Marceau made her debut as a director, but still preferred to stay as an actress, choosing the most exciting film projects. Marceau combines her acting career with social activities, and is actively interested in environmental issues.
Audrey Tautou
The peak of her fame came in the early 2000s with the release of the film “Amelie”, but now the actress has noticeably entered the shadows, although she continued to act actively. It seems that Audrey herself is not worried about this – she does not like to be in the spotlight.
“I want people to remember me as an actress, I want to leave when the time comes,” Toto said. Despite being a star, Audrey avoids publicity, her personal life is a big secret. Also, Toto is indifferent to Hollywood, her home is in France, where she works.
Marion Cotillard
Marion Cotillard equally succeeded in filming in Hollywood and in France. The French actress is really a big star at the international level, but she does not replace strong films, preferring quality over quantity. The actress takes on any kind of role, and it’s always persuasive. Being a singer, a girl from a neighboring apartment, or a clown? Easily.
Lea Seduce
At the beginning of her career, Seydoux managed to appear in the films Tarantino (“Inglourious Basterds”) and Woody Allen (“Midnight in Paris”), but fame came to her after her role in the scandalous “Life of Adele”. Subsequently, the actress’ record included “Grand Hotel Budapest” and “Saint Laurent”. “Elegance I”, “lobster” and of course Bond. Léa Seydoux is back as Madeline Swan again – in Bond 25: No Time to Die. She also worked with Wes Anderson again after The Grand Budapest in the comedy The French Herald. As usual, Anderson has a real flower garden: Bill Murray, Timothée Chalamet, Kate Winslet, Adrien Brody (and this is not an exhaustive list).
Charlotte Gainsburg
Ginsburg admitted. “As I got older, I became more like my father than my mother. I am the image of a spitting father, only in a skirt!”
. The 50-year-old daughter of Serge Ginsburg and Jane Birkin is an accomplished artist who has made great films, written decent songs and worked as a director for some time now.
She once said, “I am a quiet pool from which demons will never be caught.”
Eva Green
Murderous and mysterious are the standard qualities that journalists give to Green. The actress herself does not consider herself like that, and cleverly states: “I’m not a tigress. More like a black poodle.” Green calls herself a gnome, prefers a book and a glass of wine to noisy parties, collects stuffed animals and admires Daniel Craig, who nurtured them in the Casino Royale group. The actress treats Hollywood without much respect, prefers to live and work in Paris and London. Green also smokes a lot, does not resort to diets and dreams of playing the role of a serial killer. No, it is still fatal.
Adele Exarchopoulos
The lives of Exarchopoulos, as well as Lea Seydoux, were radically changed with the movie “Life of Adele”. “She already has an agent in Hollywood, said the actress after the premiere of “Life of Adele,” he sent me a number of scenarios but I need to read everything carefully, think seriously about everything. Apparently, she did not like any of the proposals – since Since then, she has appeared in only one of the Hollywood films Exarchopoulos, directed by Sean Penn’s The Last Face.
