French Actresses

By: Ally the Manic Listmak​er

The French have that certain je ne sais quoi. Here is a guide to some of the most beautiful and talented French actresses in history.

Note: If the actress’ home country is not France, it will be listed in parentheses next to the name. The reason the actress is on this list is because of their extensive work in France.

Dedicated to Max J. Pell, who asked me to make this list.

I would also include Kristin Scott Thomas. She appeared in a couple great French movies (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime, 2008; Les Milles, 1995; Le confessionnal, 1995; Un été inoubliable, 1994).

Care to add Florence Loiret Caille, one of Denis's regulars? (difficult to find a good picture of her though)
