French women in H'wood

Yesterday, I saw the movie 'Diabolique'. This 1996 movie had Sharon Stone, but surprisingly the person who stole the screen from Sharon Stone was the beautiful Isabelle Adjani. Isabelle is a french actress.
Another French actress who has a striking resemblence to Isabelle Adjani and acted in Hollywood movie is Sophie Marceau, the villian woman in the Bond movie 'the world is not enough' .
Virgine Ledoyen, is another French actress who got a major role in hollywood movie. She acted in the movie 'the beach' opposite to Leonardo Dicaprio.
Isabelle or Sophie or Virgine didnt survive long in Hollywood movies.
Isabelle/ Sophie/Virgine have a different style of acting which is so unlike the Hollywood-way. I think French movies dont allow their actors to overact unlike their Hollywood counter-parts. And, the plot itself is so different in French movies from that of the usual Hollywood-masala that actors dont have the opportunity to overact.

Aishwarya Rai's fate might be kindof similar to that of Sophie/Isabelle/Virgine. But in the case of Ash, Hollywood movie audience might feel Ash is overacting!
