Marion Cotillard/ A Wonderful Actress

Marion Cotillard won the Best Actress Award and gave a wonderful acceptance speech. This followed her win at the 2008 Golden Globe Awards. Ms. Cotillard grew up in Paris and was instilled with the artistic life at an early age. Both of her parents were participants in the Paris theater community and encouraged their daughter to excel in the arts. She played a small role in the Tim Burton’s 2003 film, Big Fish, and had several other roles early on that demonstrated her skill and versatility. This led to her being chosen by director Olivier Dahan to portray the the legendary French singer Edith Piaf. Although he had not met her before he chose her he said there was a similarity in their eyes. But I am sure her reputation also preceded her and she did an amazing job. She became the character she played in a most amazing manner and won many awards and much praise for her work. She is the first French actress to ever win an Academy Award in a film spoken entirely in French.

Here is video of her and her role.
