Le Journal - Marion Cotillard

Difficulty: Adv-Intermediate

France

Marion Cotillard n’était pas une grande vedette quand elle a obtenu le rôle d’Edith Piaf dans “La Môme.” Mais déjà une actrice formidable, elle avait un éventail impressionnant de rôles à son actif, et le réalisateur du film ne doutait pas qu’elle soit “la bonne.” Il avait raison: Marion a remporté l’Oscar de la meilleure actrice en 2008. Un détail intéressant: Le titre du film à sa sortie aux Etats-Unis – qui, quelle ironie, est en français – est “La Vie en Rose,” le nom de la fameuse chanson de Piaf qui veut dire mot-à mot “la vie à travers des lunettes colorées en rose.” Le titre français vient du surnom de Piaf: “La Môme Piaf,” qu’on peut traduire par “petit moineau” mais qui veut dire aussi “la gosse Piaf.”

Le Journal - L'âge et la fertilité

Difficulty: Adv-Intermediate

France

It’s common to see photos of celebrities aged forty and up happily pregnant or pushing a pram. But according to most doctors, a woman’s chances of conceiving drop dramatically after age thirty-eight or so. Of course there are exceptions. Modern medical fertility treatments allowed a sixty-six-year-old Romanian woman to give birth to twins in 2005. But unless we’re willing and able to procure such treatments, which can be financially, emotionally, and physically draining, those who want to wait until their forties to have kids will have to take their chances.
