We went from the director's suite to the elevator on our way to Emmanuelle Béart's suite. My assistant and friend Frenchie, a.k.a Frédéric Fretard, (yes he's French) shared my anticipation at coming face to face with the Goddess herself, Emmanuelle. We were ushered into Ms. Béart's suite which was lavishly adorned with many fruit baskets and floral arrangements. She seemed very much the star, with her two assistants, and her orders to have the windows closed due to the city noise bothering her.

La Béart was one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have ever seen. Dressed very simply, sans makeup, she gave us a short and consise interview. She was very charming and beautiful. She was VERY beautiful, did I tell you that already?

I loved the film, you did a terrific job. What I think really made the film interesting was the simple story. There were these two people with their own problems in life and their paths cross and they learn from each other. Exactly. That's great. EXACTLY. You've just described it very well. Write that in your story.
