Sofia Coppola Trivia Questions

Her 1999 directorial debut adapted Eugenides’ novel. It launched her career and is praised for its dreamy, melancholic tone and visual style.

Scorsese directed 'The Departed' alone. Coppola has never co-directed a major film with him, though they are friends and she acted in his 'The Godfather Part III.'

Kathryn Bigelow won Best Director for 'The Hurt Locker' in 2010. Coppola has never won that Oscar, though she was nominated for 'Lost in Translation.'

She appears uncredited in the 1974 film as a child aboard the ship during the New Year’s Eve scene. Her father Francis Ford Coppola directed.

Nicolas Cage is her cousin, but he did not star in 'Lost in Translation.' Bill Murray starred and was Oscar-nominated for it. Cage won his Oscar for 'Leaving Las Vegas.'

Spike Jonze directed Beastie Boys videos, not Coppola. She was married to Jonze, but she directed videos for bands like Air and The White Stripes.

Her film 'Somewhere' won the top prize at Venice in 2010, making her only the second American woman to win that award, after Kathryn Bigelow.

Her daughter's name is Romy, not Marie or Antoinette. She has two daughters with musician Thomas Mars; the film title was just a coincidence.
