Hollywood is still seen as a “man's world”, but one woman is doing her best to change that.
In May, 2017, U.S. director Sofia Coppola, 46, became the second woman in the history of the Cannes Film Festival to win the Best Director Award for her movie The Beguiled. The last time a woman won the award was 56 years ago.
Coppola seemed to be born for a career in film. Her father is Francis Ford Coppola, who directed the famous movie The God father. Coppola first appeared as a, baby boy, Michael, in The God father.
However, it didn't make her path to success easier. Instead, she grew up in the shadow of her father. People often criticized her for nepotism(裙带关系)and bad acting. She was named the “Worst Supporting Actress(配角)” and “Worst New Star” at the 1990 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The God father Part III.
After that, she turned to directing-what she really wanted to do all along. Her first film Lick the Star came out in 1998. And Lost in Translation soon won her an Academy Award in 2003. She gradually became famous for films focusing on women. “I just think, half the world is female,” she told Elle.com. She makes films with these females in mind. From the cute Lisbon girls in the Virgin Suicides to the teen queen Marie Antoinette, Coppola brings us into the amazing worlds of girls, rather than simply showing them as stupid, unimportant or useless, Deviant World noted.
