Poll Suggestion: IMDb Poll Board's Greatest French Celebrities

@mariojacobs​ 

I'll put them on the list.

@Tsarstepan​ It's usually the fear of not being right, it will pass because after  all, you're allowed to constantly change whom you think is important to you, friend. Decide and not give a crap. Debussy's String Quartet in G Minor is hard to match for a one-off.

@stinciples​ 

Debussy surely is one great frenchman! Could someone please upload an image of Claude Debussy?

@Tsarstepan​ 

The candidates shoould be well known in the world. Even if they are dead for 200 years or something like that, they are or were frequently shown on TV, so Biographies count, too. But it sure is better to present people from today that people clearly know.

@stinciples​ 

Jaques Pepin is close to the border, because there are just three entries of "self". Could you please think of a better candidate? Yves Montand is a candidate for sure! I like his work, he was great!

Please give me your IMDb user's name to name you in the poll.

@Breumaster​ Just figuring things out here, thanks. I'll do better on the next poll.

Ok, so I removed it.

@riverotter​ 

added. 

@jaf_ismael​ 

Added.

@cinephile​ 

I love your contribution. Added both. I admit that 35 entries may be to less for all great frenchman. But I also think that you had to think very hard about picking only 2 of them. That's what I intended by setting the limit to 2 picks. Everyone should take his or her personal top 2 frenchman. I love our neighbour-country france. I was there in 2002 and had a very good time there. We need to keep up together in these dificult times. Maybe I'll change it to three or four picks, if there are not enough suggestions.

@Jessica​ 

Thank you, Jessica. He is on the list now. Got another?

@Breumaster​ 

I'll think about it. :)

@Pencho15​ 

Added! Great dudes! :D

@Breumaster​ mireille mathieu + madame curie

@mariojacobs​ 

Thank you, mario. You already have 2 of them like any user can pick. If there are not many more suggestions, maybe I later will change the rule to 3 picks, but I first want to wait, if there are further suggestions about. If not, I'll put Mireille Mathieu for you on the list. 

@Breumaster​ 

Outside of cinema:

Marguerite Yourcenar

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0950315/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0

Inside cinema. I hesitated, there are too many. As, all the celebrities I named so far are dead, I chose to name a living actress. My pick is going to sound bizarre to those who only watch mainstream films (aka James Bond). It is Léa Seydoux https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2244205/. She has convinced me in the last few years that she is the best "mainstream" actress of her generation, at 37, she is already a monument of French cinema as much as Simone Signoret, Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, and Juliette Binoche, Isabelle Adjani.

@mariojacobs​ 

Sorry. I mixed it up. I'll put them on the list. Just tomorrow.

@cinephile​ 

Thank you, I'll put them on the list, but I'm unelieveable tired, so I'll do tomorrow. If I miss, please remember me. Thank you. :D

@cinephile​ 

Thank you. I added your options and altered the despriptions a little, mainly for making it not too big.

@mariojacobs​ 

Mario, I've put your favs into options. Thank you for contributing. :D

@mariojacobs​ 

marie curie is polish.

@cinephile​ 

Of course she was born in Warsaw, but she imigrated, lead the Institute Curie in Paris and at least she died in France, so I'm about to count her as a french. Not by birth, but by choice. What do you think about?

@cinephile​ indeed, I was also thinking about Dalida, but she was not born in France either... vicky Leandros was born in Greece. I'l go then with Vanessa Paradis or Desireless.

@mariojacobs​ 

Vanessa Paradis, ok. She is on the list now.

@Jessica​ 

Corrected. This week I got a little vacation. So I have a little more time for it.

@Breumaster​ 

We asked ourselves who would be perceived as the greatest Frenchman in international media.

@Jessica​ 

Corrected. :D

@Breumaster​ 

Thanks for the quick response, Breu. :)

@Breumaster​ 

Please also change thenolanfan's name in #5 and #6 to his current username, Maxence_G.

@Peter_pbn​ 

Thank you, Peter. Thank you, Buddies. :D

@Tsarstepan​ 

Technical glitch.

@Tsarstepan​ 

I changed the format and asked for a re-push. Thank you for pointing out. :D

@rubyfruit76​ 

I still have little time to do so. Now is weekend. I have a little time at the moment, but not as much as I would like to have.

I'll put them on the list tomorrow. Thank you for suggesting.

I just saw that Marie Curie was in discussion before. It was a discussion about her beeing born in Poland, not France and she would have been mariojacobs second pick. How to handle that? Meanwhile I've put Claire Denis on the list as your first choice. We can change that later, if you want.
