Picturehouse prexy Bob Berney, celebrating two wins for "La Vie en Rose," credited Marion Cotillard for spending several months in L.A. improving her English as well as the efforts of her CAA agent, Hylda Queally. Cotillard returns to work on Michael Mann's John Dillinger movie "Public Enemies," opposite Johnny Depp, on Tuesday.

They're certainly not wasting any time are they? Hope some pics will start to pop up in the next few weeks. Thanks for the tidbit Karen---wasn't she cute at the Oscars last night?

She was too cute, at least.

I loved her in Big Fish! I can't wait to see her in A Good Year. (on my NetFlix queue--coming soon)
and of course I will need to finally see La Vie en Rose.

This makes me wonder how much of, or if, the filming of PE is being done in LA? Maybe it's the preliminary stuff, like costumes, make-up, script rehearsals, etc...?
Marion was adorable last night!! She looked beautiful in that amazing gown and came across as being so genuine and really surprised to win! Her performance in La Vie En Rose was outstanding; nobody could argue with that win. Did anyone else catch the interview with her backstage where they asked her to sing? She did, a little of 'Padam' from the movie. Too sweet!!! I see many similarities between Marion and Vanessa, in the way they look and their sense of style.

Does she have pretty good English?
Could she have mistook 'few days' for 'few weeks' ...

Is this 'On Tuesday' just heresay rumor ?
Or did she actually say On Tuesday?

(Sorry for my pickyness, but .... :blink: I'd really like to pin down the dates. )

The quote came from Anne Thompson's Variety blog.

Yes, and Thanks for letting me double check out loud. I guess Marion at least is back to work then! No wasting time there! Can't see a person with Thompson's status making a mistake, and it backs up Marion's statement very well.

Wonder where Johnny will show up next ? :blink: He should start one of those "This is where I was two weeks ago" blogs , just to drive everyone crazy.

He can be so frustrating sometimes! :thud But I admire him just as much ! :thud Seems like we know much more about everything else in the world that's going on! But again, I'm reminded by Johnny about what's 'normal' and what information is not normal ! :thud

That's three :thud 's for Johnny. Egads!

Ha! I like your idea about the blog, Depputante! That would drive us all nuts, eh? :blink: Johnny is such a master for staying under the radar; I don't know how he does it. I'm torn by conflicting feelings of admiration and frustration! I sure don't envy Marion being in Chicago with the weather they've been having back there. Brrrr!! However, she may find it refreshing after the media heat and hoopla of LA and the Oscars. Good luck to her, says I!

Yeah, he could take a photo of his boot on some grass, or some snow. then A close up of his tomatoes even! Or a tattoo! Hmm... LOL. I digress. I dream.

I'm sure Marion will help Johnny look really Dapper!

I loved her lastnight and she looked smashing!! I saw La Vien Rose and she did a beautifyl Job. Edith Piaf is one of my fave singers, she defenitely did her justice!

I wonder if her and JD chatted lastnight. It seems that eventhough the Oscars is a big deal, the actors know the next day is back to work.

I am so excited for P.E. I am reading the book and it's really good!

Johnny may not need any help looking dapper, but as we all just witnessed Sunday night, he looks even better with a French woman on his arm! ;)

That of course is a matter of personal opinion.

Since this thread seems to have wandered I am closing it.
