Oscar-winning Marion Cotillard was facing embarrasment with her new American public last night after it emerged that she doubted the official account of the September 11 attacks.

The 32-year-old French star has swept this year’s best actress awards, also receiving a Bafta, Golden Globe and a César for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose.
Marion Cotillard questioned the September 11th attacks and the moon landings
Miss Cotillard, who earned under £1 million in 2007, could expect her Oscar success to significantly increase her earning power. She is due to start filming Public Enemies with Johnny Depp.
But the actress faces a potential backlash in the US over comments she made in an interview in France. Footage which surfaced on the internet showed her questioning the New York terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and the 1969 moon landing.
"I think we’re lied to about a number of things," she said, singling out September 11.
Referring to the two passenger jets flown into the World Trade Centre, Miss Cotillard said: "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.
It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."
Miss Cotillard suggested that the towers, planned in the early 1960s, were an outdated "money sucker" which would have cost so much to modernise that it was easier to destroy them.
Turning to America’s space programme, she said: "Did a man really walk on the moon? ...."

Shut up and sing.
Another graduate of the Rosie O’doughnuts school of engineering. ;-)
I don’t think even Rosie has denied the moon landings.
But certainly a foot in the mouth for her; and I hope she enjoys eating toe jam, as my family will not be supporting her career in any shape or form.
Mrs. Slim and I watched “La Vie en Rose” last night. Shame this lady’s a moonbat, because she did a great job in that movie.
Cest la vie.
how embarrassing for her. And for the French.
Wow! Even by French standards, she sounds like an idiot.
This conspiracy theory thing is NOT limited to far leftwingtards Fur Shur.
Might help if she could read, but I'm not sure that would improve the situation for the others.
A Hollywood gossip site has this article up and the leftist are loving it. Its sickening to read and have them bash American and those who support the President.
what a shame she didn’t repeat the comments a the ‘awards’ ceremony, might have made one or maybe two americans think for once!
LIE LIE LIE.
It stood for hours. People jumped to their deaths because death did not come soon enough and they didn't want to choke or burn to death.
If your mechanic started looking over your shoulder and nodding at a customer behind you mutting “damn niggers” under his breath, would you still go to him for service?
When the dumb open their mouths and make evident their studpidity, they don’t need my financial support.
Another “sensitive artist” with no brains.
“I think we’re lied to about a number of things”. True. Of course the biggest lie is that France helped defeat Germany in WWII. I’m not kidding or being sarcastic. It was De Gaulle’s policy to push this fiction to pull France out of it’s post-war funk.
