From freedom fries to the Statue de la Liberte, the French are more than generous with their American friends. But our most prized French possessions are not a salty snack or a symbol of friendship, they're the outstandingly beautiful francophone actors and actresses we get to watch on the silver screen.

From Natalie Portman's baby daddy to one of the most stunning faces the red carpet has seen in Marion Cotillard, because it's Bastille Day, we're counting down our favorite French imports.
