What magic potion to become an international star?

Assuring a small role in this film, actress Marion Cotillard is, according to the journalist, the biggest star of the feature film, because she enjoys international notoriety, playing in many American films.

But the greatest French actress today is, according to Caroline Vié, Léa Seydoux: “She has acted in many quite remarkable American and French films.

He is someone who has a solid career, who has talent, contrary to what the jealous people say.

For me, he is the real French star”.

What potion would Léa Seydoux have taken to be this big star?

“She has a lot of talent.

(…) I refuse to think that it's because she's the daughter of a great producer.

It represents an image of French sophistication, with this ability to transform itself if necessary.

There is certainly a luck factor too…”, list Caroline Vié.

In the history of the last sixty years of French cinema, Catherine Deneuve, by her extraordinary career, is, according to critics, the greatest tricolor star.
