This Bastille Day, We're Celebrating Our Favorite French Imports (PHOTOS)

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.

If this was the Bush era, would his powers that be have forbid such an article. It seems like only yesterday that freedom fries was at the forefront of the Bush hate campaign against the French. Anyway, lovely to see these fine Frenchies in all their beauty.

She's French Canadian, but that's close enough---why isn't Pascale Bussieres a big star in the USA? She's made movies practically every year for two decades, she wins prizes in Canada and France, she does theater in Montreal, she's fabulously gorgeous and gifted, but practically nobody in this one-horse country has heard of her. Pathetic. We are truly a pathetic lot of sad sacks here in the U.S.A.
