Marion Cotillard is busy in Los Angeles. Yesterday, she attended a pre-Academy Awards party hosted by the US-Ireland Alliance. The evening honoured Irish stars Brendan Gleeson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, as well as legendary celebrity agent Hylda Queally – who happens to be Ms Cotillard’s US agent.

The latest client to sign with Ms Queally is Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto. Asked about her feelings to be represented by an agent who apart from Marion also reps stars such as Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and Penelope Cruz she said:

“I feel honoured actually to be in the same kind of group as them,” Freida gushed. “I think Hylda is a wonderful person, she knows what she’s doing and she’s very instinctual.”

I’ve added some lovely pictures to the gallery. Marion was photographed with Kate Winslet, Freida Pinto and her agent Hylda Queally. I think the straightened hair is somewhat of a new look for Marion but it suits her. And it went very well with the simple white-dotted brown dress. What do you think?

I really love Freida Pintos performance in slumdog milionair. She is a great and beautifull actress. So now it is just awesome, that she will become the next bond girl.
