Eva's favourite well-known European figure is Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard is a famous French actress. She is 37 years old. She is successful in both her work and in her family life. In 1999 Marion Cotillard was nominated for the César for Taxi. In 2002 she was nominated for the César for Les Jolies Choses. In 2005 she won the César for Best Actress in a supporting role. In 2008 she won a César for Best Actress as well as a Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for La Môme.

She seems breezy, independent and free. She enjoys being on the move and exploring new territory. Harmony and balance are her key notes. She is diplomatic and socially aware. She is a person who prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to her. She has a lot of energy and most of her films have received acclaim from both critics and the public.

She succeeded in convincing Hollywood that you can be French and a woman and still be a great actress! That to me makes her a great European figure!
