Hello everyone!
I'm still shaking!

Today, after more than a two month dry spell, I finally got a success!

But not any success, my most wanted autograph - from Academy Award winning actress
Marion Cotillard!!!

After I got my first via venue success back in March from actor Paul Bettany, who was my most wanted since I started collecting, Marion became my new "target" as she's my absolute favourite actress!! But I got a big surprise when I opened the envelope... she did not only just sign and personalise my "La Vie En Rose" photo, she also sent me TWO amazing photos which she printed!

I was SO happy, 'cause it's not the best photo I sent her - I was in a rush to post my letter so there was no time to print a pic.

I think Marion is an amazing actress and I love her films such as "La Vie En Rose", "A Good Year", "Big Fish" and "Jeux d'enfants"! {thumb2} This is one of my most favourite successes (as you can see I've already added her name in my siggy!

). Thank you very much to
Larisie for this great address!

Ok, I must get to the important details now and try to calm down:
I sent: A letter (I wrote to her in French), photo and SASE.
Date sent: 25 March 2008
Date received: 19 June 2008
Address used:
Marion Cotillard
“Public Enemiesâ€
Production Office
1436 W. Randolph St.
Chicago, IL 60607
USA
ADDRESS IS NO LONGER VALID!
I received my "La Vie En Rose" photo back signed and personalised, as well as two extra photos she sent me, all signed and personalised!

She wrote on all three photos: “Lizanne {heart} Marion Cotillardâ€. I guess she sent me two extra photos because of my not-so-great pic and because I'm a South African who can speak French!

Thank you so much, this is a very special success for me!

I can't wait to see "Public Enemies" when it's released next year, I think it's going to be a great film with a brilliant cast!
Enjoy,
Lizanne
