Birthday of Marion Cotillard
On September 30, 1975 in Paris, in the artistic family of Jean-Claude Cotillard and his wife Monique Niseema Theillaud, a daughter was born, named Marion.
As often happens with children from artistic families, their parents literally from the cradle begin to introduce them to the world of art. It was the same with Marion.
Dad, a native of Breton peasants, who has become a very famous theater actor and director, already 6-year-old Marion began to release on stage in his performances.
Mom, a representative of the North African Kabil people, actress and theater teacher, contributed to the admission of 15-year-old Marion to the Conservatoire (as the humanities institutes in France are called) d'art dramatique in Orléans, where she taught herself.
At the age of 18, Marion Cotillard began acting in television series, and at the age of 19 she played her first, and immediately the main, role in the full-length feature film "L'Histoire du garçon qui voulait qu'on l'embrasse (The Story of a Boy Who Wanted to Be Kissed)" directed by Philippe Harel.
The first film with the participation of Marion Cotillard, which I watched somewhere in the late 90s of the last century, was Gérard Pirès's film "Taxi", produced written by Luc Besson. To be honest, Marion Cotillard made the impression of an ordinary sexy beauty, of which there are many. I didn't even remember her name, although she played one of the main roles in this film. Starting with "Taxi-2", I stopped following this franchise. Other films with the participation of this actress did not come across to me until ...
Until, in 2007, I watched "La MĂ´me (La Vie en Rose)". The role of the great Edith Piaf played by Marion Cotillard in this film went to the bone. And, apparently, this my perception, turned out to be completely unoriginal, if not standard. Since, for this role in the next year, 2008, Marion Cotillard was awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (Golden Globe), by the American Film Academy (Oscar), by the British Film Academy (BAFTA award), by the French Film Academy (CĂ©sar Award) and others.
Winning the American Academy award for Best lead actress in a film not in English, Marion Cotillard repeated the record of Sophia Loren, which was held for 46 years, since 1962.
After this film, I already began to follow more closely the emerging films with the participation of this Actress and watched the films I missed, in particular, "Un long dimanche de fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement)" and "Big Fish".
By the age of 45, Marion Cotillard has played in 49 full-length feature films. Of these 49 films, 3 movies entered the Golden Thousand. Thanks to this indicator and her beauty, Marion Cotillard is included in the list of the 100 most beautiful and sexy Actresses in world cinema.
Along with numerous film awards, which Actress has about 80 of them today, Marion Cotillard also has French state awards, in particular the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Today, on the 45th anniversary of the Actress, we want to remind her fans of shots from the best films with her participation.
