The cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Actress

"Rachel Weisz, Amy Adams, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway, Sally Field, and Helen Hunt glam up for the cover of The Hollywood Reporter‘s Actress Roundtable issue.

Here is what the ladies had to share with the mag:

Anne on her mother playing her Les Miserables role Fantine on stage: “Yeah. My mom was in the first national tour, and she understudied the character [Fantine] whom I wound up playing. It made me nervous to tell her that I was auditioning for it, just because I knew how much it would mean to her, and I was worried that if I didn’t get it, she would be disappointed, and if I did get it, it would be weird. And she was so cool about it. We talked about the character. And when I got the part, no one was happier for me.”

Marion on the role that changed her life: “After La Vie en Rose, I started to feel the need to clean up some relationships, which was really weird. Suddenly, I needed to start fresh. Sometimes you go deep inside yourself, and I think it opens things inside of you. I don’t know if you can really identify what it is, but you just need to heal. Did I answer the question? (Laughter.)”

Amy on how fame changed her life: “I am going to get in an altercation with the paparazzi. It’s going to happen. They keep focusing on my child. You guys are mothers. How do you handle it? Because I need to calm down. I have a really bad temper. I need to learn how to control myself.”

Rachel on fighting for a role: “I fought for The Constant Gardener. I hounded the director. I called him a lot, and I wrote him a lot of letters. They were quite bold, basically telling him why I thought I was right to play the part. That’s very un-British. But I dropped my British-ness and at the end of the day [director Fernando Meirelles] said that tenacity was right for the character.”"

Marion Cotillard cover of W magazine

"With her new movie "Rust and Bone" set to hit theaters on November 23rd, Marion Cotillard pitched in on promotions by covering the December 2012 issue of W magazine.

Looking ready for the holidays, the 37-year-old actress posed in a stunning red Dior Haute Couture belted cashmere coat with Dior jewels and Atsuko Kudo gloves for the Tim Walker shot front page while rocking garb from Gaultier Paris and Chanel Haute Couture in the accompanying spread.

The Article

On being snubbed at Cannes:

"I think I may have been on too many magazine covers. In France, they like the underdog. In America, they appreciate success."

On the first movie she ever saw:

"'Fantasia.' The dancing hippopotamus made an impression on me. And, of course, 'E.T.' I went totally mad in the theater. I was almost pulling my hair out when they took E.T. away. That’s a deep memory of anger, despair, and pain. They had to get me out of the theater. I was screaming."

On whether it's more difficult to do a death scene or sex scene:

"Definitely a sex scene. I hate sex scenes. The body is so important in this movie, but I hate being naked onscreen. It’s very weird to imagine how a person would have sex. It cannot be your way. Otherwise, it would be super uncomfortable and overly intimate. Everyone has a way to have sex, so a character does too. I mean, kissing is very powerful. You feel something, you know? It’s really intense to kiss as another person."

Marion Cotillard cover girl of Harper's Bazaar UK

"With her new movie "Rust and Bone" set to hit theaters on November 23rd ,Marion Cotillard pitched in on promotions by covering the December 2012 issue of Harper's Bazaar UK magazine.

The 37-year-old actress looked stunning in a Christian Dior dress and Tiffany & Co. jewels for the Ben Hassett shot front page while opening up about topics including British culture to the challenges of acting.

Highlights from Miss Cotillard's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Harper's Bazaar UK!

On her love for British culture:

"I think of England as music with fashion. You mix rock 'n' roll with everything, from royalty to punk to the bourgeoisie. Music-wise, you're the best. David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, Radiohead, the Beatles...."

On preparing for the role of Stéphanie in her new film, "Rust And Bone":

"Well, I mean, I love my job, but I'm not going to cut my legs off. Stéphanie loses her legs. It's a shock. If she'd been without them for years, I would have worked differently. But I had to learn with her how it felt - that loss. How it changes her."

On the challenge of acting:

"[Being an actor is] like you're this tightrope walker. Even if you know how to do it, you never know if you're going to make it to the other side."
