Marion Cotillard - FANTASTIC SUCCESS! Big Surprise!

[lizane]

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 Enemies”
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ADDRESS IS NO LONGER VALID!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 Cotillard”. 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

Great success from Marion... She's AWESOME. Recently, I posted my photo which I received from her. Check it out when you get a spare chance.

Félicitations Lizanne !
It's an amazing success !! {thumb2}
She is so nice with her fans ! {love}

Congrats Lizanne! That's a great success. More likely though, is that your mail and someone else's mail got mixed up and she sent you someone else's photos. That's happened to me on both ends a few times.

[violaine]

Oh my god ! I thought she never received my letter because I didn't have any answer to my letter but actually she did because the two pics you received in extra are mine ! Well I guessed I won't receive anything then

[batmaura]

Bravo ! Tu me redonnes espoir parce que je n'ai toujours pas reçu de réponse de Marion Cotillard.

[lizane]

Thanks for the replies everyone! {thumb2}

greekamerican - Thanks! I love your photo, she was great in "A Good Year"!

Bria - Merci beaucoup Elodie! Marion est très sympa!

dansautos - Thanks Dan! {thumb2}

violaine - Really? :o What a surprise! Are you sure it's yours? At the back it looks like a postcard? I'm sorry to hear that, did you sent a SASE? If so, she would realise that there's no pics for it so she might get you a new one. I really hope so - keep me updated!! Since batmaura has also not received hers, I'm sure you would get something back!

batmaura - Merci! Bonne chance!!

Many regards,
Lizanne

Yes I'm 100% sure and I did sent a SASE ! I'm really sad about it because now I'm pretty sure I won't received anything (and she is one of my favourite actress) but oh well I guess it's great for you !

[lizane]

Aww, I'm really sorry to hear that violaine! Don't worry, I'm pretty sure she would realise your SASE is empty - her mail must've gotten very mixed up! I'm certain you would get something nice - our letters were probably on top of each other and the stuff got mixed up. I'm really hoping you hear from her now, just give it a few days! {thumb2}

All the best to you violaine!

[violaine]

Well I will let you know ! Thanks for the support anyway but I don't get so much hope (this week was such a catastrophe ! I'm right in the middle of my exams ! ) Anyway thanks !
