First Look at Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel
Monday, January 5, 2009 at 7:22PM
I think
Audrey Tautou and Amélie were robbed for some Oscar nominations several years ago.
Though she has popped up in a few major films since - think The Da Vinci Code and
Stephen Frears' Dirty Pretty Things - she has kept a fairly low profile in the U.S.,
but then, she always maintained that she preferred to work in Europe, anyway.
How does that jive with playing one of the more high profile women of the 20th Century?
We'll find out, probably at the end of the year, when we see Tautou as designer Coco Chanel
in
Coco avant Chanel (Coco before Chanel), a biopic chronicling the early years in
the career of one of Time's 100 most influential people of the 20th century.
The Bad and the Ugly has some new production photos of Tautou as Coco, and I think we call
all agree it's pretty terrific casting.
