As Picasso's mistress Adriana in the romanticised semi-historical flick 'Midnight in Paris', Cotillard is mesmerising and quintessentially French.
Meryl Streep was a relative unknown when Allen cast her as his ex-wife in 1979's 'Manhattan'.
Allen's lifelong friend Diane Keaton created a generation of style copycats as Annie Hall in 'Annie Hall' – a role written specifically for her.
