Hollywood career


I recently watched braveheart and also remember sophie in the world is not enough. She is obviously very attractive and gave very decent performances in both. I looked up on Wikipedia to see what other films she had done and was very surprised to see that was pretty much the end of her career outside of France. Was it a personal decision or was she simply not offered any more roles?

Who would know.

She can be seen also in Anna Karenina (1997).

She remained focused on France and Europe mostly.

Probably didn't like the Hollywood studio system.

Exactly. She was never the ladder-climbing sort. She turned down the chance to play Claire Forlani's role in Jackie Chan's The Medallion.

She is also a bit vocal and seems to say exactly what she thinks - on her co-stars... that never helps anyone's career.

there is something with French actress in Hollywood....


take Emanuelle Beart for example, she had a role in Mission Impossible alongside Tom Cruise and apperenatly she had such bad experience that she never worked in Hollywood again
