Ricci has shared screen time with Hollywood heartthrobs her entire life�Depp (on three separate occasions), Justin Timberlake, and Orlando Bloom�but the collective scream reached fever pitch earlier this year when she filmed Bel Ami, an adaptation of Guy de Maupassant�s story of corruption and social climbing, with Twilight superstar Robert Pattinson. Featuring a stacked deck of formidable actors, including Uma Thurman and Kristin Scott Thomas, Bel Ami tells the story of George Duroy, a scheming, power-hungry womanizer brought to life by Pattinson. Ricci plays Clotilde de Marelle, one of Duroy�s many conquests. �I read the book when I was 13,� she says. �It was one of my tutor�s favorite stories, so there was a lot of discussion about it my entire life. Getting the part was one of those things that made me sort of believe in�� Realizing she�s stumbled dangerously close to earnest territory, she cuts herself short, and then, with a slight eye roll, says, �Well, fate. But, yeah, Rob�s fans are crazy. We filmed in London, and they were always around base camp, gathered at the barriers.�
