Audrey Tautou, this year's Cannes Film Festival mistress of ceremonies, won hearts around the world -- if not those of critics back home -- as the pixie-faced heroine of "The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulain". Still wrestling with the burden of that success and famously ill at ease with the limelight, Tautou will be put to a radical test as the frontwoman for the world's most prestigious movie festival. Raised in a quiet corner of rural France, Tautou has largely shunned Hollywood and says she does not see herself as a movie star.
