Marion Making Her Mark

Marion Cotillard is the new face of French cinema who took home a treasure trove of gold statues from far-flung corners of the world for her memory-searing role as Edith Piaf in 2007’s La Vie en Rose.
Her first big screen performance after her 2008 Oscar win for La Vie en Rose comes via a Michael Mann summer blockbuster, Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp as 1930s Chicago gangster John Dillinger. In the role of Dillinger’s girl, Billie Frechette, Cotillard delivers another bang-up performance.

Marion Meets Cesar

France's film industry gave its coveted Cesar award for best actress to Oscar hopeful Marion Cotillard for her portrayal of songstress Edith Piaf in "La Mome" (La Vie en Rose).
Cotillard was a favorite going into Friday's Cesar competition, comparable to the Academy Awards, after critics said she captured the soul of France's queen of song in the film by Olivier Dahan.
She is in contention for an Oscar in Sunday's Academy Awards for her performance.
The Cesar was her second award this month. Cotillard was honored as best actress by the British Academy Film Awards. She also won a Golden Globe for best actress in a comedy or musical.

Ms. Cotillard can be seen in the March 2008 edition of Vanity Fair where she reenacts Alfred Hitchcock's famous shower scene from the classic 'Psycho' (above).
