Happy Birthday: Marion Cotillard

Marion Cotillard

Born: September 30, 1975 in Paris, France

[on why she became an actress – Elle, November 2013] When I was a kid, I started to have a lot of questions about human beings, and I was a troubled child because of all of these questions. I guess that’s why I became an actress. Not only because my parents were actors and, yeah, it’s a beautiful thing to tell stories, but I think I became an actress because I wanted to explore this- to explore what a human being is.
