Clotilde Courau got a great deal in her native France at the age of 22 for her acting in Le petit criminel in 1991. She won a César award (the French equivalent of an Oscar) as Most Promising Actress.
Today she goes by another title: Clotilde, Princess of Venice and Piedmont. She married Emanuele Filberto di Savoia, Prince of Venice and Piedmont, in September 2003. Emanuele Filberto is a grandson of the last king of Italy. So Clotilde Courau - not Catherine Deneuve - is technically the French Grace Kelly. ;-)
Courau's movies from the nineties included Map of The Human Heart (1993) and Milk (1999, not to be confused with the Harvey Milk bio of the same name). She has continued working since becoming a real-life princess, with suich films as 2008's Modern Love.
American audiences know of her best - if they know of her at all - as Katie in the Hollywood film Deterrence.
