Tautou worked steadily, but it was not until landing the leading the lead role in Jeunet's "Amélie" that she achieved stardom, introducing her to fans in the U.S. The popular actress, however, has not cashed in on her fame despite numerous offers from Hollywood, instead preferring to work steadily in her native France. Tautou made an appearance in the ensemble hit film "L'Auberge Espagnole" and took on her first English-language role in Stephen Frears' Oscar nominated "Dirty Pretty Things." Tautou will reteam with Jean-Pierre Jeunet for "Un Long Dimanche de Fiançailles" ("A Very Long Engagement"), a film that will also mark Jodie Foster's much anticipated return to film.
