First of all, thank you to a couple of you for the heads-up that Mélanie is on the list of expected guests at TIFF — very good news! She also has her first bit of English press in a while in the September issue of InStyle magazine. The article is very short, but the photos are both brand new and lovely. Along with those scans, I’ve also added several older features donated by Marine and her friend Élodie. Take a look!

I have a big update of magazine scans today! Thanks for many of them go to the lovely Marine. Included are some previously unscanned pages from Jalouse, plus new features in Studio Ciné Live, Numéro, Madame Figaro, Revue de Modes, and La Parisienne. Enjoy!

No big surprise here, but Mélanie has yet another magazine feature/interview promoting Promenade de Santé and La Rafle. It’s in Femme Actuelle and, as always, we would love scans! In the meantime, you can read a bit about the article below.

Mélanie Laurent, 26 ans, sera le mois prochain à l’affiche de La Rafle, de Roselyne Bosch (dont l’avant-première a eu lieu le jour de la Saint-Valentin), et est tous les soirs sur les planches du Théâtre La Pépinière, à Paris, dans Promenade de santé.

A cette occasion, tous les magazines se l’arrachent, et Femme Actuelle a pu l’interroger quant à son quotidien de jeune actrice star, et ses différents projets en cours.

In other (and older) news, the wonderful Marine has donated scans of the autumn/winter 2008 issue of Very Elle. We’ve had captures from the Very Elle website in our gallery for a while now, but not scans from a physical copy, so now you can read the actual article! Enjoy!

I’ve also added 16 new photos to Mélanie’s last public appearance, the “Le Concert” 2 million viewers celebration, so click back into that album if you’d like to check them out.

Another interview for Mélanie’s upcoming play! This one is more detailed and focuses on Mélanie exclusively. Besides what drew her to the theatre and the play itself, she also talks a little about Tarantino, how they’ve stayed in contact, and their infamous red carpet dance. The first performance of “Promenade de Santé” is tomorrow night, February 9th! If any readers go to see the play during its run, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Une promenade de santé – Mélanie Laurent : “Je suis heureuse pour la première fois de ma vie”

Nicolas Bedos a écrit une pièce pour elle. Il voulait lui offrir son premier rôle sur les planches. La belle blonde a accepté pour se lancer un nouveau défi.

En pleine écriture d’un scénario et en préparation d’un album, Mélanie Laurent sera aussi à l’affiche de deux films cette année. En attendant, elle est à partir de demain sur les planches dans Une promenade de santé, de Nicolas Bedos, au théâtre de La Pépinière à Paris. Stressée à quelques heures de la première, elle reçoit France-Soir à l’hôtel Costes pour confier sa peur, ses joies et ses espérances.

Elle.fr interviewed Mélanie and the author of her upcoming play, Nicolas Bedos, to talk about “Promenade de Santé”, how it came to be, and miscellany like Mélanie’s travelling and how she doesn’t read her critiques either negative or positive. It’s a short article but there’s a cute photo of the pair as well.

Nicolas Bedos et Mélanie Laurent sont si complices qu’on leur trouverait presque une ressemblance physique… Il la met en scène au théâtre dans une « Promenade de santé » échevelée. Rencontre avec un duo réjouissant.

ELLE. Vous êtes amis depuis plusieurs années. Comment est née l’idée de cette pièce, l’envie de travailler ensemble ?
NICOLAS BEDOS. Dès notre première rencontre, je me suis immédiatement reconnu en Mélanie comme en une jumelle. Nous avons la même volonté de tout comprendre, cette tentation de frimer un peu dans tout, d’épater les parents… Et puis cette fille est une des personnes les plus drôles que je connaisse. Elle a en elle quelque chose de très outrancier, et le théâtre me semblait l’écrin parfait pour exploiter ce côté excessif.

We have a bunch of new magazine scans in the gallery today! Marine has been kind enough to donate Grazia (Oct. 2009), Muze (Sept.-Oct. 2009), and Studio Ciné Live (June 2009), all French language, while I’ve added scans from the September edition of Flaunt magazine — which is in English! Each picture below is a link to their individual album.

This is also a good time to segue into that project I’ve mentioned. It’s taken longer than expected and the French-language section is still very much under construction because of the sheer volume of available content, but Merveilleuse Mélanie Laurent now has a press library! I hope it’s a useful resource for fans who want to read up a little more on Mélanie than what’s available in our Information section. There are plenty of interviews, articles, and more. Out of the above, Flaunt has already been transcribed and added to the archive. Check it out and let us know what you think! And if you spot any typographical errors, please shoot me an e-mail: lindsey (at) melanie-laurent.net.
