Famous Actresses List Q to Z
If Someone’s Eyeballing You, It Makes You Feel Good– Charlotte Rampling
A quote by actress and one-time model who kicks off this famous actresses list. Born Tessa Charlotte Rampling in 1946, her filmography shows she has made many memorable films and been nominated for various awards (4 Cesar as well as an Emmy Award nomination). She was married to Jean-Michel Jarre (French composer) for some 20 years, though this is presumably not the reason she was awarded the Legion of Honour by France in 2002 (or the British OBE one year earlier).
