In my opinion, the most talented French actress ever, and one of the most underrated actresses in history.
Should be the 1st. Best French actress ever. Both beautiful and smart, a rare case among actresses.

As a teenager, Marceau achieved popularity with her debut films La Boum (1980) and La Boum 2 (1982), receiving a César Award for Most Promising Actress. She became a film star in Europe with a string of successful films, including L'Étudiante (1988), Pacific Palisades... read more
Not only one of the best French actresses, but one of the most versatile. Such beautiful and expressive eyes and such a great feminine woman with such a wonderful personality.
The most beautiful and talented French actress at all times. Her roles are spectacular. I enjoy watching her in Fanfan, fire light, braveheart and Anna Careninna.
Sophie Marceau is the most beautiful female by far. She is superior at acting.

Beautiful? Of course, but also a terrific actress
Should be in the Top 5.
One of the all-time international greats. She was perfect in everything she did.
She's flawless. Without a doubt one of the greats.

She could play any character apparently effortlessly.
By dar the best if the 20 century.

I think that she is just an exceptional and very, very unique actress! It seems to me that every role she plays, well every character she takes part in, was not chosen out of the ordinary since she plays each role, adding a unique fragrance to it, perfectly well; making it imposible for any other actress to be as good as her in that character! And of course! Let's not forget her charming beauty and her "Froide" appearance. What makes her a great actress is that she knows what she wants. Also, the most intriging and "Magnifique" part is that, at the same time, she can look as innocent as she could be seductive and as fragile as she could be "brusque", violente.

Pure simple beauty and talent.


And God Created Woman. Took the sexy actress role to a whole other level.



Another example of actresses that are also known for more than just acting, but music, presenting TV, modeling, painting & novels. Like all the others here, she isn't very popular to Americans because she's French. Yet it's rare for French people to gain big worldwide recognition & she's 1 of the few that did during the late 60's & 70's. As for acting, she's acted in many French films & TV series, along with playing Joan Crawford in her plays.
