Ayyyy! Puzzle corner
By Spirit FingersIn celebration of Bastille Day, this week’s puzzle corner is devoted to famous French actresses, both classic and modern. Study the photo montage below (click for a larger view) and identify the fashionable French femmes below.
Answers will be put up on Wednesday morning. In the meantime I will be wearing my Chanel suit, stylishly quaffing champagne and sharing buttery pastries with a clueless poodle.

This is going to be tough, and I was BORN in France.

#2 is Catherine Deneuve (in 8 Femmes). Could #5 be Marion Cotillard in La Vie En Rose ?
