Is the current 'Marianne'. In France there is a tradition that in every town hall is the bust of the most beautiful woman in a decade. Marianne is the symbol of liberty and republic in France and since January 2000 that role is on Laetitia for the next ten years.

Once invited a homeless man for dinner in her hotel while in London.

Laetitia Casta was victim of an agression by a Parisian cab driver. The man lost his temper in a traffic jam, and started to verbally abuse her while she was on her phone. Scared by the attitude of the man she and her friend paid and left the cab. The cab driver continued to insult them and got out of his cab to spray them with mace gaz. Later the cab driver made up a story (that she was playing merry hell and screaming) to justify his agression when the police arrested him. The tabloids simply repeated his version keeping it that way as it was more juicy and scandalous than the truth. The man was condemned by the court a week later.

Gave her stage debut in Jean Giraudoux's play "Ondine" (2004).
