Hollywood is still seen as a “man's world”， but one woman is doing her best to change that.
In May, 2017, the US 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 Godfather.Coppola first appeared as a baby in The Godfather.
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(女配角)” and “Worst New Star” at the 1991 Golden Raspberry Awards for her acting in The Godfather 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 females，” she told Elle.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.
