Trivia

  • Several of her films were funded by the Luxembourg Film Fund (even when they weren't filmed in the country), which is supervised by the Ministry of Culture, who then decides which films will be funded with taxpayers' money.
  • Called herself "the biggest star of her country" [Luxembourg] in an interview for The Hollywood Reporter in September 2021.
  • Stated in interviews that she lit a candle everyday at church to not be nominated for an Oscar for Phantom Thread (2017). She said she felt it [an Oscar nomination] was sort of a poison. However, less than a year after saying this, she had no problem in campaigning for the Oscar for her film Corsage (2022), even hiring the same American PR team of several Oscar winners and nominees.
  • Was invited to join the actor's branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences in 2023.
