  Returning to her parents’ birthplace in 1994, Pamela Nomvete became a household name as Ntsiki Lukhele, “the bitch”, on a South African soap opera called Generations. 
  But the mirage of luxury and success in which she lived was just that, a mirage. Behind closed doors, she battled her husband’s infidelities, addiction, and spiritual confusion. 
  Dancing to the Beat of the Drum details the traumatic personal crisis Pamela went through as her success grew – a crisis which took everything she had worked for from 
  her – and how she came to re-evaluate her priorities and reconnect with the spiritual side of her life, something she had long neglected.

As for the nude revue 'Oh Calcutta', it is noted that "there are some parts of the anatomy over whose movements the choreographer has no control”.  Join Fanny Kemble as she travels at break-neck speed aboard Stephenson's Rocket and Joyce Grenfell as she washes her tennis balls and bakes them in the oven while Lord Byron conducts a fiery seaside funeral of his close friend Shelley.

  “A great actress, who puts life into the dialogue. Her acting is very natural, her face so expressive. She doesn't act, she is.” Woody Allen
  The teenager who saw herself as dull and timid and who wanted to be invisible for fear that she would seem like a show-off has become, in a career spanning twenty years, a quintessential artist of the Seventh Art. Sometimes nicknamed "Marion the kid," the “French Siren” in the United States, her notoriety has led her to be known by the simple, tradittional name of "Cotillard," just as other famous and appreciated actresses are called "Adjani," "Binoche" or "Deneuve."
  Passionate about cinema, Dominique Choulant lets us better understand a rich and endearing personality, a dedicated woman and an exceptional artist who, by the virtue of going to the limits of each character, succeeded in being herself.
