Perhaps it's the bouncy blonde locks falling over her shoulders, the sharp winged eyeliner, or maybe it's her admirably long and successful career as an actress. Either way, there's something about Catherine Deneuve that makes me want to tie a ribbon in my hair and brush up on my French. She's a household name but still maintains an element of mystery in film, photographs and la vie quotidienne.
