VIRGINIE LEDOYEN – THE BEACH, 2000

Virginie Ledoyen broke out in 1995 after appearing in the film “A Single Girl,” and since then, she’s been in many hit movies. The French-born actress has not only won fans’ hearts with her complexion but also with her acting skills. She rose to international popularity in 2000, playing Françoise in the film “The Beach.”

The movie hailed from a 1996 novel by Alex Garland of the same name. Although the film drew mixed reactions from fans, Ledoyen did justice to her character. It was filmed on the Thai island of Ko Phi Phi Le, where this shot was taken as she rocked a two-piece blue bikini.
