The Cannes Film Festival -- that takes place every year at the Palais des Festivals et des Congres, in the resort town of Cannes, in the south of France -- has begun.
And just like every year, eminent film personalities from around the world have started trickling in to be a part of this extravaganza, which is in its 64th year. Here's a look at some of the Hollywood faces that made it to day one:
