During her career, in addition to winning, she has been nominated five times for the Cesar Award for Best Actress. In 1996 her role as Hana, a Canadian nurse tending to a wounded stranger during WWII, in the blockbuster film The English Patient, brought her the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
