OlderMarion Cotillard Covers VOGUE July 2010
French siren Marion Cotillard is all sorts of perfection in Dior on the July 2010 cover of Vogue, as captured by celebrated photog Mario Testino. Here’s what the 34-year-old actress told contributing editor Joan Juliet Buck :
On playing in the Expressionist-Surrealist band Yodelice fronted by composer Mazim Nucci: “I play the bass guitar, keyboard, and tambourine—I’m their one-woman band and all-purpose maid,” Cotillard explains. She’s taken to appearing with Yodelice on tour, dressed as a man, under “Simone,” the name of her maternal grandmother. “It’s pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.”
On her Oscar winning portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose: When the film was over, she couldn’t shake Piaf. Her hairline and her eyebrows were still shaved. She fled with Canet to Peru and the Amazon; she went to Bora Bora with her best friend, Geraldine. “It was there that I found myself articulating why Piaf was still living inside me. She had been abandoned as a child; her greatest fear was to be alone. Now I didn’t want to abandon her. I finally was able to say, ‘She’s been dead for 40 years; it’s OK.’”
Her inspiration for her character in the musical Nine: She goes into every character as deeply: lived on the Menominee reservation for Billie Frechette, spent four months learning to dance for Luisa in Nine. Her inspirations for the cockolded director’s wife included Fellini’s wife, Giulietta Masina, and Eleanor Coppola’s documentary Hearts of Darkness, about the shooting of Apocalypse Now. Photos of Audrey Hepburn gave her “the hairdo with the big personality, the thick bangs and the ponytail. You paint your character with colors you have taken from everywhere.”

Love Marion.. not the cover though.
Why does Vogue photoshop every cover to death?? Marion is such a beautiful woman who doesn’t need to be airbrushed like this. Creepy
Such a beautiful woman. I agree with both of you — she doesn’t need airbrusing for goodness sake!
Marion is such a great actress, I’m proud she’s French =D
And by the way, it’s “MaXime Nucci”, not “Mazim Nucci” ;) (He is french too)
Lovely~
I want her hair cut! Definitely liking the second peak … u go woman!
She’s great. Its nice to see a talented woman on the cover of Vogue. Its usally teenyboppers or C list actors now–Blake Lively/Jessica Biel.
It’s such a nice change to see a foreign actress on the cover of US Vogue.
I think she is a great actress but average looking
What a stunning cover, such a beautiful woman.
Je suis fière d’etre française – a good actress and I love the fact that she’s worked with David Lynch!!
Wow, what the heck did they do to her face? It looks nothing like her.
Beautiful woman though, looking forward to see her in Inception.
Girl…no WOMAN..crush!! Class, style and talent.
damn! a looooooot of PHOTOSHOP! she isn’t marion, is she??
I think the cover is beautiful, one of US Vogue’s best this year.
She looks like a wax figurine. I could barely recognized her.
.
Marion is one of the dumbest actresses nowadays.
.
She never bothered to explain her disgusting comments about 9/11 and her delusional commnet about landing on the moon.
@riri: Are you dumb? Are you one of those stupid overly-patriotic Americans? You clearly did not understand her comments because you are clearly, shock, misguided.
Do you need to be an American to know that a man has indeed landed on the moon?
.
Are you claiming you need to be “overlu- patriotic” to know people actually died in 9/11?
.
Wow. Your standards must be really low.
I, for one, don’t think actresses should be treated as stupid, and if they open their mouth, I expect them to be at least average in the IQ department.
@riri: you’re such an american cliché!!! So sad for your american compatriots …she has her opininons, she might have explained herself to you but the major drawback here is that she doesn’t KNOW you exist …LOL. I guess you’ll never know what she meant, unless you get over your ignorance.
So 9/11 and landing on the moon is a matter of “opinion” now?
,
Historical facts are indeed “opinions” if you are that stupid, I suppose.
.
I am not saying Marion must be able to pick up a book or read a newspaper for crying out loud, but she is indeed below average in the brains department.
.
Very very low.
@riri:
I’m french and totally approve what you’re saying.
About freakin’ time they had somebody credible on the cover….
@riri: I agree, I’m very stupid. I wish you could justify yourself without insulting me, but I guess it’s too much to ask.
I only think she wanted to suggest that television and politic’s perception of a situation can’t be accepted as the truth/reality, that everyhting must be questioned cause everything you’re being told is not eventually the truth. OK, maybe her words were put out of context or she may have used the wrong examples, but that’s how I perceive her comment.
And a lot of people are not sure about 1969 because of the cold war and hence the competition theyr had with the Russians. So you’re saying these people are as dumb as I am cause they don’t follow what’s been wirtten in an history book? History is one’s perception, not everyone’s perceptual experience. A lot of facts are being ommitted in history because some countries are not so proud of their heritage (I’m sure you haven’t learn how USA’s been inoculating and monitoring syphillis in 600 African-American males from rural Alabama, despite the fact that a cure was present – penicillin- in a text book, after what happens to the europeen jews, we thought genocide is over, ut it is still happening in 2010. And I can go on about your country and other countries, such as my homeland, France.
Like I said earlier, and what MC would have probably wanted to say, everything must be questioned.
PS. the syphilis research in alabama was conducted in the 70s, 30 years after the USA saved us from 1945…
I’m in love with this woman.
