Geneviève Bujold

Genevieve Bujold is a real actor's actor to me. Born in Montreal in 1942, she came out of francophone Quebec and won a Golden Globe and earned an Oscar nomination for playing Anne Boleyn in Anne of the Thousand Days. What I respect is that she never seemed interested in selling herself; she let the work do the talking, both on stage and screen. People with that kind of unbothered, self-paced approach tend to be the ones who quietly steal a scene with a single look. The mix of that French cadence and a sharp, intelligent presence reads as someone with a very firm core.

Geneviève Bujold (French pronunciation: [ʒənvjɛv byʒo]; born July 1, 1942) is a Canadian actress. For her portrayal of Anne Boleyn in the period drama film Anne of the Thousand Days (1969), Bujold received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
