Marion Cotillard?

sandybrook said...

French Girl is this a correct description of her?

KrisWhyte said...

Cotillard is a bit young, isn't she? Maybe Catherine Deneuve?

sandybrook said...

yeah she fits much better--I thought she retired but she seems to work endlessly.

Wow, if this is really Catherine Deneuve i am VERY pleasantly surprised, she didn't strike me as a very generous person, so apparently cold and distant. But, as they say appearance may be deceptive?

Anyway, there are others french actresees that might be considered " French Meryl Streep", Jeanne Moreau Sandrine Bonnair..

Either Isabelle Hubbert (most nominations) or Isabelle Adjani (most wins)

That's most Cesar nominations/wins. That's what I think the Streep reference means. And Huppert (sorry about the b's in the original post) is very involved in a number of French charities.

.....Isabelle Huppert...and yes, she does strike me as the person that would such a thing.

I want to be her, but it's not happening.
I clearly recall Johnny Carson making an off-color joke about her having small breasts.
As probably a tween, I was vicariously insulted for her.

Adjani has always struck me as being a bit of a pill. Must be someone who's been around a long time, otherwise how would she live?

One more name to the mix (though I think others are more likely): Juliette Binoche.

As well you should have been. Unlike the cookie-cutter sameness of young actresses today, there is only one Deneuve.

Those old Chanel campaigns - she was flawless.

Malibuborebee said...

Between Huppert, Adjani and Binoche, Binoche is the most politically active (although they all are to some extent).

For some reason I think it's Huppert but I couldn't really say why.

Catherine Frot was in Marguerite, about the same type of character Streep plays in Forest Foster Jenkins. Frot has two Cesars and 10 noms.

Nathalie Baye is often called the French answer to Meryl Streep.
