Chocolate Posted January 23, 2009 Author Posted January 23, 2009 Category 41-45, round 4: Sarah Jessica Parker vs. Sophie Marceau Sarah by me She first appeared in Brodways musicals Annie — first in the small role of "July," and then won the lead role of the plucky Depression-era orphan, beginning March 6, 1979. Parker held the role for a year. In 1982, Parker was cast as the co-lead of the CBS-TV sitcom Square Pegs. The show lasted only one season before being canceled by the network, but Parker's performance was critically well-received. In the three years that followed, she was cast in four films — the most significant of those being Footloose in 1984 and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun in 1985. In 1986, Parker appeared in the cult classic Flight of the Navigator. By the early 1990s, Parker's career was gaining momentum. In 1991, she appeared in a supporting role in L.A. Story; both the movie and her performance garnered positive reviews. The following year she landed an important starring role in the well-received film Honeymoon in Vegas. Her 1993 role in the film Hocus Pocus was a higher grosser at the box office but received negative reviews. The following year, she appeared in the critically acclaimed movie Ed Wood. The film Miami Rhapsody, in 1995, saw her back on familiar territory with more romantic comedy material and a leading role. She appeared in Mars Attacks!, as well as The First Wives Club and The Substance of Fire, in which she reprised her 1991 stage role, in 1996. In 1997, she appeared in the comedy Til There Was You. Later that year, the script for an HBO drama/comedy series titled Sex and the City was sent to Parker. The show proved to be an instant success, raising Parker's profile considerably. In 2004, Parker won an Emmy award for her lead role (after five consecutive losses). After Sex and the City ended in 2004, rumors of a film version circulated and it was revealed that a script had been completed for such a project. Two years later, however, preparations were resumed, and the film was released throughout the world on May 30, 2008. A sequel is also in early talks for 2009. In addition to work in movies and television, Parker is also a respected stage actor, having appeared in well-reviewed lead roles in the off-Broadway play Sylvia in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and the Tony Award-nominated Once Upon A Mattress. In December 2005, Parker appeared in her first theatrical film in several years, The Family Stone; she received a Golden Globe nomination as Best Actress - Comedy for the role. Her next film, Failure to Launch, was released on March 10, 2006 and opened at #1 in the North American box office, grossing slightly over $24 million in its opening weekend, despite mediocre reviews. Parker's work as a producer continues with the independent film Spinning Into Butter, which she will also star in. 2008 Smart People, Sex and the City: The Movie (wikipedia) Sophie bu 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) 1. WHICH ONE IS PRETTIER? 2. WHICH ONE IS MORE TALENTED? Quote
