Aside from both being Academy award winners, Binoche and MacLaine share in common a real-life character they have both played — French designer Coco Chanel.

Speaking about the role last year, Binoche toldVariety, “There were 10 great scripts because it’s 10 episodes, and it’s going to be like playing different roles because we’ll show her at different stages of her life. But I can’t say more at this point.”

“The truth is that I spent maybe two months talking to great American actresses past 50, and it was fantastic. I’ll just never have a time like that again. Then, when I was with Shirley, it became clear that she was the one,” Brooks told PEOPLE in November.

“Historically, she has one of the greatest careers of any American actress. Drama is her friend, of course, but she has a comedy sense,” he added.
