You should include Sweden's Noomi Rapace too (from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

Anyway, if Lena Olin can make it, why not Juliette Binoche?

There are just too many French ladies already on here. Even too many Swedish ones. I'm looking for ones now from countries where stars are less liekly to make it to Hollywood...but do!
