22
23	!!Associated tropes:
24
25	* CastTheExpert: She is a classically trained cellist, like her character in ''[[Film/LostAndFound1999 Lost & Found]]'', and she plays the instrument the film.
26	* ContractualPurity: Got her big break as the lead in a lighthearted teen film, but quickly tried to break out of this image by taking on significantly DarkerAndEdgier roles in romantic and historical dramas. Starting with 2008's ''Film/{{LOL}}'' she began to appear in family-oriented comedies again, though now as the concerned mother figure rather than the carefree teenager.
27	* FakeNationality: In ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'' she plays a woman of mixed British and Azeri heritage.
28	* FemmeFatale: She was often associated with these kinds of roles, particularly in the 1990s.
29	* MsFanservice: She's well-known to French audiences for appearing naked in many of her movies, and has continued this trend into TheNewTens.
30	* RomanceOnTheSet: With Andrzej Żuławski, who directed her in several films. They have a son together too.
31	* StarMakingRole: Vic in ''La Boum'', at least in France.
32	* TwoHitWonder: While she's popular in her native country, American and British audiences probably only know her as [[Film/{{Braveheart}} Princess Isabella]] or [[Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough Elektra King]].
33	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: After starring in ''Film/{{Braveheart}}'' and ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', Marceau seemed poised to launch an internationally successful career, as fellow French actresses Creator/EvaGreen and Creator/MarionCotillard would do a decade later. However, her next English-language film, ''[[Film/LostAndFound1999 Lost & Found]]'', was both a critical flop and a box office bomb, and led to her mainly sticking to French cinema, in which she was already a major star.
