A prolific Gallic actress with a distinct onscreen presence, Clémence Poésy kick-started her career in a series of films produced in her native France, then gradually expanded her scope to include European and (later) U.S.-based efforts. Poésy signed for one of her first major parts with a supporting role opposite the legendary Carole Bouquet and Michel Duchaussoy in Francis Palluau's hostage-themed #92;comedy Bienvenue Chez Les Rozes (2003). She then evoked the #92;period flair of Mary, Queen of Scots with her portrayal of that character opposite Robert Carlyle in Gillies MacKinnon's U.K. miniseries Gunpowder, Treason and Plot, and then tackled a lead in the German #92;comedy drama Olga's Summer (2004). In that film, Poésy played Olga, a 16-year-old who falls madly in love with a much older man and runs off with him to the French Rivera. Poésy subsequently achieved international crossover success and made her Hollywood debut as Fleur Delacour in the family-oriented big-budget #92;fantasy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) and essayed a romantic lead opposite Colin Farrell in Martin McDonagh's steel-tough #92;action-#92;drama In Bruges (2008). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
