. In 1997. actress was named the magazine "People" among the 50 most beautiful people in the world. However, ironically, much more often, Christine can be found in the French ribbons, rather than in the relatives of the British.

Kristin Scott Thomas was born May 24, 1960, Mr.. in the English town Redrut, Cornwall. She was the eldest of five children in the family.
