Born in the heart of Eastern Europe, Olga Kurylenko rocketed to international fame from humble beginnings. Born on November 14, 1979, in Berdyansk, Ukraine, Kurylenko lived in poverty during her early years. Her parents divorced when she was just three and she was raised by her single mother. However, destiny intervened when a talent scout discovered the then-13-year-old Kurylenko while on vacation in Moscow. This chance encounter paved the way for her successful career in modeling, which was her stepping stone into the world of acting. Kurylenko's rise in the modeling industry was rapid. By 16, she had moved to Paris and signed with the Madison Agency. She graced the covers of prestigious magazines like Vogue and Elle, and featured in campaigns for brands such as Bebe, Clarins, and Helena Rubinstein, establishing herself as a highly sought-after model. While enjoying modeling success, Kurylenko nurtured her passion for acting. She began receiving small roles in French films before landing a significant role in the 2005 film L'Annulaire, which earned her the Best Actress award at the Brooklyn International Film Festival. Kurylenko's acting prowess was globally recognized when she landed the coveted role of Bond girl Camille Montes in the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace (2008), alongside Daniel Craig. With this role, she joined an elite group of actresses who have played the love interest of the iconic British spy. Kurylenko continued to impress with performances in films like Oblivion (2013) alongside Tom Cruise and The Water Diviner (2014) with Russell Crowe, demonstrating her versatility and consolidating her position in Hollywood. Beyond her acting career, Kurylenko is known for her philanthropic efforts, particularly her commitment to improving educational opportunities for children in her native Ukraine.- Photo:

As she got older, her interest turned towards acting, which led her to the University of Melbourne. Emerging with a degree in 2010, Debicki made her film debut in the Australian comedy "A Few Best Men" (2011). Fortuitously, Baz Luhrmann stumbled upon Debicki and casted her in the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" (2013). Before following up her American acting debut, she took to the stage and performed alongside Cate Blanchett and Isabelle Huppert in "The Maids" from 2013 to 2014 in both Australia and New York.

One of only three women to be awarded the coveted Palme d'Or, Léa Seydoux's rise to Cannes festival favorite began when she secured a Most Promising Actress Cesar Award nomination for her portrayal of The Princess Of Clevès in "La Belle Personne" (2008). Seydoux then began to balance equally acclaimed roles in French films "Lourdes" (2009), "Belle Épine" (2010) and "Farewell, My Queen" (2012) with minor parts in Hollywood fare such as "Robin Hood" (2010) and "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" (2011) before landing the co-lead of blue-haired art student Emma in the controversial romantic drama "Blue Is The Warmest Colour" (2013). Born in the 16th district of Paris in July 1985, Seydoux grew up in a prominent family steeped in the history of European cinema. Her grandfather, Jerome Seydoux, was chairman of Pathé; her great uncle, Nicolas Seydoux, was chairman of the Gaumont Film Company and the Vice President of Arte France; her stepmother was model-turned-documentary filmmaker Farida Khelfa. However, despite her showbiz background, Seydoux only began to take a serious interest in acting after graduating from high school when she took a year's theatre course at Les Enfants Terribles. Following her debut in teenage dance flick "Mes Copines" (2006), Seydoux then honed her talents with supporting roles in "Une Vieille Maîtresse" ("The Last Mistress") (2007) and "De La Guerre" ("On War") (2008) before achieving her breakthrough when Christophe Honoré cast her as Junie de Chartres in historical drama "La Belle Personne" ("The Beautiful Person") (2008). Seydoux went onto receive praise for her performance in the Vienna Prize-winning "Lourdes" (2009) and soon began to attract the attention of several major Hollywood directors, landing small parts in Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" (2009), Ridley Scott's "Robin Hood" (2010) and Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris" (2011). Seydoux continued to flirt with the international mainstream by appearing as trained assassin Sabine Moreau in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" (2011), but still focused most of her attention on the European film scene, picking up another Cesar Award nomination for her lead performance as Marie Antoinette's servant in "Farewell, My Queen" (2012) and starring in the Alps-based Swiss tragi-comedy "Sister" (2012). Seydoux then became the toast of the French film industry when she took on the role of Emma in the sexually explicit three-hour epic "Blue Is the Warmest Colour," later winning the Palme d'Or alongside director Abdellatif Kechiche and co-star Adèle Exarchopoulos. That international breakthrough was followed by supporting roles in Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014) and fashion world biopic "Saint Laurent" (2014), as well as the lead role of Belle in Christophe Gans' adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast" (2014). A starring role in another literary adaptation, "Diary of a Chambermaid" (2015) was followed by the high-profile part of Dr. Madeleine Swann in the James Bond hit "Spectre" (2015)- Photo:

She made her acting debut in the comedic thriller "Tusk" (2014), costarring her father and directed by Kevin Smith. Smith wrote the part of an ambivalent Canadian convenience store employee specifically for Depp, casting her alongside his own daughter Harley Quinn Smith, with whom Depp was close friends. Around the same time, Depp began modeling professionally. Shortly after the release of "Tusk," Smith wrote and directed a spin-off feature starring Lily-Rose Depp and his daughter Harley Quinn in reprisals of their "Tusk" roles. The film, "Yoga Hosers" (2016), debuted at Sundance Film Festival, accompanied by rumors of a third film by Kevin Smith starring the pair as the same characters: "Moose Jaws."

Celine Dion, a Canadian-born vocal powerhouse, has etched an indelible mark in the global music industry with her incomparable talent and her extraordinary journey. Born on March 30, 1968, in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion is the youngest of 14 children in a musically inclined family. Her singing career began at a tender age when she performed in her parents' small piano bar. However, it was her brother who sent a recorded demo to music manager René Angélil that truly opened the door to her remarkable career. Angélil, recognizing her potential, mortgaged his house to fund her debut album, La voix du bon Dieu, marking the beginning of an enduring professional relationship that later blossomed into marriage. Dion's rise to international fame came after her victory at the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Switzerland. These wins catapulted her onto the world stage and led to her decision to learn English, thereby expanding her audience reach. Her self-titled English album, released in 1990, established her as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world. With hits like "The Power of Love" and "My Heart Will Go On," she quickly became one of the most sought-after musicians of her time. Despite her meteoric rise, Dion remained grounded, attributing her success to her love for music and her unyielding work ethic. Throughout her career, Dion's life and music have been characterized by triumphant highs and heart-wrenching lows. She has sold over 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time. Yet, she also faced personal trials, including her husband's long battle with cancer, which led to a temporary hiatus from her career to care for him until his passing in 2016. Dion's resilience and dedication to her craft, despite these challenges, are a testament to her strength, both as an artist and as a person. Her extraordinary talent, combined with her personal tenacity, continue to inspire millions of fans around the world.Instagram: paulineferrandprevot
