Chocolate Posted February 20, 2009 Author Posted February 20, 2009 Category 41-45, TALENT SEMI - FINAL ROUND 1: Julia Roberts vs. Sophie Marceau Julia by michelabella Roberts made her film debut playing a supporting role in Blood Red. Her first television appearance was in the initial season of the series Crime Story with Dennis Farina, in the episode titled "The Survivor", broadcast on February 13, 1987. Roberts first caught the attention of moviegoers with her performance in the independent film Mystic Pizza in 1988; that same year, she had a role in the last episode of season four of Miami Vice. The following year, she was featured in Steel Magnolias and garnered her first Oscar nomination (as Best Supporting Actress) for her performance. Roberts catapulted to worldwide fame when she co-starred with Richard Gere in the Pretty Woman in 1990. The role also earned her a second Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress. Her next box office success was the thriller Sleeping with the Enemy. She played Tinkerbell in Hook in 1991, and also played a Nurse in the 1991 film Dying Young; which was followed by a two-year hiatus, during which she made no films other than a cameo appearance in Robert Altman's The Player (1992). In 1993, she co-starred with Denzel Washington in the successful The Pelican Brief. She also starred in the 1996 film Michael Collins. Over the next few years, she starred in a series of films that were critical and commercial failures such as Mary Reilly (1996) for which earned a Razzie Worst Actress nomination. She broke her losing streak with the hugely popular comedy My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and eventually regained her earlier reputation as an actress who could open a movie and guarantee box office success. She starred in the popular 1999 film Notting Hill. That same year, she also starred in Runaway Bride. Roberts was a guest star on the Law & Order television series, in a well-received episode broadcast on May 5, 1999 entitled "Empire”. In 2001, Roberts received the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich. Roberts would team up with Erin Brockovich director Steven Soderbergh for three more films: Ocean's Eleven (2001), Full Frontal (2002), and Ocean's Twelve (2004). Later in 2001 she starred in The Mexican. Julia Roberts made her Broadway debut on April 19, 2006 as Nan in a revival of 1997 play Three Days of Rain. Although the play grossed nearly US$1 million dollars in ticket sales during its first week and was a commercial success throughout its limited run, most critics heavily criticized Roberts' performance. Roberts did, however, receive a Broadway.com audience award (a minor theatrical prize) for her performance. Roberts's two films released in 2006, The Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web, were both animated features for which she provided only voice acting. Her next film was Charlie Wilson's War. Fireflies in the Garden is currently in post-production, with release set for 2008. It has also been announced that Roberts will star in The Friday Night Knitting Club. 2008 Fireflies in the Garden 2009 Duplicity (wikipedia) Sophie by Lisa-1 Marceau started her career at 14 when Claude Pinoteau cast her in the starring role of the teenager movie La Boum (1980). Filming began on July 17 and finished in time for her school's fall term. After viewing the rushes, Alain Poiré, the director of the Gaumont Film Company, signed Marceau to a long-term contract. La Boum was a hit not only in France, where 4.5 million tickets were sold, but in Italy, Japan and elsewhere. In 1983, Marceau received the César Award (France's equivalent of an Oscar) for Most Promising Actress. After starring in the sequel film La Boum 2 in 1982, Marceau focused on more dramatic roles, including Fort Saganne and Joyeuse Pâques (Happy Easter) in 1984, L'Amour Braque and Police in 1985, and Descente aux Enfers (Descent Into Hell) in 1986. In 1988, she starred in L'Etudiante (The Student) and Chouans!. That year, Marceau was named Best Romantic Actress at the International Festival of Romantic Movies for her role in Chouans. In 1989, she starred in Mes nuits sont plus belles que vos jours (My Nights are more Beautiful than your Days). In 1990, she starred in Pacific Palisades and La Note Bleue. In 1991, she ventured into the theater in Eurydice, which earned a Marceau a Moliere Award for Most Promising Newcomer. Marceau began making less-dramatic films, such as the comedy Fanfan in 1993 and La Fille de D'Artagnan in 1994 — both popular in Europe and abroad. That year, she returned to the theatre as Eliza Dolittle in Pygmalion. In 1995, Marceau achieved international recognition as Princess Isabelle in Braveheart. That year, she was part of an ensemble of international actors in the French film Beyond the Clouds. In 1997, Marceau continued with Firelight, Marquise and Anna Karenina. In 1999, two films defined her as an international star: Midsummer Night's Dream and she became a Bond girl in The World Is Not Enough. In 2000, Marceau teamed up again with her then-boyfriend Andrzej Zulawski to film La Fidélité. Les Femmes de l'Ombre (2008) (wikipedia) WHICH ONE IS MORE TALENTED? Quote
