    Audrey Tautou is a fantastic French actress who has done mainly French films, but she has forayed into American films, most notably "The DaVinci Code." While that film fell flat, her character of Sophie really shined with Tom Hanks's character of Robert Langdon.

    Great French actress and she has appear in a quite lot of good movies, though most of them are not acknowledge because they are French, but there are some good films that are and the prime example of this is Amelie, which was a great film. I think that Audrey is very original and a great actress, very cool!
