Marion Cotillard (born 30 September 1975) is an Academy Award-nominated French actress, perhaps best known for her BAFTA and Golden Globe winning performance as Édith Piaf in 2007's La Vie En Rose.
Biography
Career
Cotillard began acting during her childhood, appearing on stage in one of her father's plays.[1] Her career as a film actress began in the mid-1990s. She rose to prominence in the late 1990s when she was cast in the Luc Besson production Taxi (1998) as Lili Bertineau, a role that she reprised in two sequels. She then earned very good reviews and the attention of cinephiles via her portrayal of twins who exchange their lives after one of them dies in Les Jolies Choses.
Although more widely known in France, Cotillard is building an international presence (she is also nominated for an Oscar, having already won the Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy/musical). In 2003, her reputation was considerably enhanced by her role in Tim Burton's film Big Fish, opposite Billy Crudup and Albert Finney, which introduced her to English-speaking audiences. It also became her first both critical and financially successful film. This led to two more critically successful films into 2004, known as A Very Long Engagement, where Cotillard further demonstrated the range of her abilities by playing the murderous Tina Lombardi, and the drama mystery Innocence. She also played Sophie Kowalski in Yann Samuell's Jeux d'enfants (Love Me If You Dare), which proved her ability to play a complex yet appealing modern romantic lead, though the film received mixed reviews. She recently appeared in Ridley Scott's A Good Year.[2] She was chosen among hundreds of candidates to portray the iconic French chanteuse Édith Piaf in Olivier Dahan's biopic La Môme (English title: La Vie En Rose), dubbed "the most awaited film of 2007" in France.
Cotillard is currently in talks to play Luisa Contini in the film adaptation of the Tony Award winning musical Nine (musical). The part of Luisa Contini had previously been played by Karen Akers in the original 1982 production and more recently Mary Stuart Masterson in the Tony-Award winning 2003 revival also starring Antonio Banderas, Jane Krakowski, Chita Rivera, and Laura Benanti. The film is to be directed by DGA winner Rob Marshall and it is scheduled for release in 2008.
Cotillard, on February 10, 2008, became the first French actress to be awarded the BAFTA for Best Actress in a Leading Role. She is also the first actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for a French language performance since Catherine Deneuve for Indochine in 1992. Also, she is the first actress to win a Golden Globe for a foreign language performance since 1972, when Liv Ullmann won for The Emigrants.
Personal life
Cotillard was born in Paris and grew up around Orléans, Loiret in an artistically inclined, "bustling, creative household".[2] Her father, Jean-Claude Cotillard, is an actor, teacher, 2006 Molière Award-winning-director, and former mime, and her mother, Niseema Theillaud, is also an actress and drama teacher.[2] She has two younger twin siblings named Quentin and Guillaume. Quentin is a sculptor and painter living in San Franciso, USA [3] with his Irish-American wife, Elaine O'Malley Cotillard, "a former Dutch National Ballet dancer who grew up in Marin and is now a San Francisco fashion designer".[4] Guillaume is a writer. She is currently dating Guillaume Canet.
Cotillard is interested in environmental activism and has served as a spokesperson for Greenpeace. She also allowed the organisation to use her apartment to test products. She is a huge fan of Canadian singer Hawksley Workman and starred in two of his music videos.
