french actresses and their American carriers


The choice I made about leaving my country for another in order to achieve my dream has been a very hard and risky decision. I cannot deny that becoming an actress in Los Angeles but with a French nationality is quite impossible... But I don't want to listen what people say or think, I have to try otherwise I will regret it for the rest of my life.

There are some French actresses that I want to talk about here and prove that they finally succeed.


Let's begin with Marion Cotillard :

She is extraordinary talented and so special in her acting skills. I have been admired and impressed since the beginning of her carrier. Her international acting life starts with " La Môme " by Olivier Dahan where she depicts an incredible portray of Edith Piaf. Hence, she will be nominated for the Cesar, the Golden Globe, the BAFTA, and will win the Oscar for Best actress, it is real consecration. After that, she will start to work with legends of the film industry such as Tim Burton, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Rob Marshall as well as Xavier Dolan... She will have the opportunity to have a role in great movies such as Inception, The Immigrant, Big Fish, Public Enemies...

She is my idole and give me the motivation and determination to succeed.



Secondly, we have Melanie Laurent :


This beautiful blond woman who starts normally her carrier as an actrice in France, is now part of the very selective group of the french actresses called in American feature films. In 2006 she interprets Lili in " Je vais bien, ne t'en fais pas " by Philippe Lioret where she will receive the Cesar Award for most Promising Actress. Two years after, she is recognized by Quentin Tarantino who will offer her a role in his next movie " Inglourious Basterds " next to Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger. She continues her journey toward the international film industry, meeting talented American actors/actresses such as Elle Fanning, Dakota Fanning, all the cast of " Six Underground " by Michael Bay.



Thirdly, Juliette Binoche must be in my selection:



Juliette Binoche has an incredible and very impressive carrier, she is able to interpret multiple characters with the same intensity and ability. She received the Oscar of Best Actress in a second role as well as The BAFTA for " The English Patient " by Anthony Minghella. After that, in 2001, she is the French actress the most nominated such as Oscar, Cesar, BAFTA, Golden Globes, SAG Awards for " Chocolat " by Lasse Hallström.

However, she always said that she was not looking for working with big American Production.





We may also point out Eva Green who interprets perfectly all the American superheroes and diverse characters in well-known movies such as " Dark of Shadows", "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar children", " Dumbo" by Tim Burton ( who decides to use her as his new inspiration). Moreover, she had a role of one James Bond's girls ( Vesper Lynd ), she interprets also a character in " Kingdom of Heaven".




All those women are a real inspiration for many actresses and I strongly believe that it is motivated to know a little bit about them.

I let you making more research about them if you want !


Don't forget to comment, I want to see all of your opinions, ideas , remarks ... :)
