MOST TALENTED AND LUCKIEST CELEBRITIES
SOPHIE MARCEAU
L'
Etudiante (1988), Pacific Palisades (1990), and Pour Sacha (1991). Marceau
then debuted on stage with Euridyce and netted a Moliere award for Most
Promising Newcomer. A variety of French films followed -- FanFan (1993), La
Fille de d’Artangnan (1994), and Par-Dela Les Nuages (1995). Although
immensely famous in France and wildly popular in Asia, international (read:
American) stardom began 15 years into her career with the Hollywood
blockbuster, Braveheart. The lovely European went on to a cross-Atlantic
career, making Marquise (1997), Anna Karenina (1997), Firelight (1998), Lost
and Found (1999), William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1999) and
The World Is Not Enough (1999 - a James Bond flick that resulted in two Movie
Brazil award nominations and a Blockbuster nomination for the actor). Not
content with one career only, Marceau dabbled in recording for children (her
own son was born in 1995) with Pierre et le Loup (1994) and Histoire de Babar
(1994). As well, she directed and wrote the screen play for the nine-minute
Cannes hit film L’Aube a l’Envers, and published the semi-autobiographical
novel Menteuse (Liar) in 1997. Coming up for Marceau, on screen, are the
movies Fidelite and Belphegor, and any number of other projects -- she seems
most interested in furthering her writing career. Internet shrines enthuse
about the actor’s intelligence, elegance, charm and sensuality. Industry peers
and critics are no less flattering. They would agree that Marceau, highly
talented in a broad range of artistic disciplines, has what it takes to endure
in show business. Her career -- whatever career she chooses -- is sure to
remain extraordinary.
