Fans of _The Good Wife_ have long speculated about an alleged feud between Julianna Margulies, who plays the titular attorney Alicia Florrick, and her co-star Archie Panjabi, who played enigmatic investigator Kalinda Sharma and left the show earlier this year after six seasons. Now, after Margulies addressed the rumors, Panjabi is adding fuel to the fire.

Fans’ evidence for this feud focused on the fact that the two actresses hadn’t shared a scene together in about two years. Their _characters_ did have a falling out on the show, after Alicia learned that Kalinda had slept with her husband years earlier but speculation escalated after last season’s finale, in which the two [filmed their final scene “together” separately](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/15/did-good-wife-fake-final-scene-between-alicia-and-kalinda).

During an interview at the New Yorker Festival, Margulies insisted there was nothing to the rumors, [via Vulture](http://www.vulture.com/2015/10/julianna-margulies-archie-panjabi-feud.html#):

---

> “”

---

As for shooting their finale scene separately, Margulies said that it was “shot the way Robert wanted to shoot it” and suggested that Panjabi’s commitments to _The Fall_ factored into the scheduling.

But Panjabi is calling B.S. on Margulies’ explanation. On Monday she tweeted a link to an article with Margulies’ explanation and said _The Fall_ “was not even in production at that time and I was in New York ready to film the scene!”

### La Vie En Rose, 2007

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-la-vie-en-rose](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd7281693933e290e/698865f83c16398d18459fca/marion-cottilard-best-roles-la-vie-en-rose-3.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Picturehouse


Cotillard, a relative unknown, beat nominees including Cate Blanchett and Julie Christie at the Oscars, making her only the second woman to win Best Actress for a foreign-language role. (The first? Sophia Loren.) The notion of an actor getting the gold for playing an iconic musician—in this case, Edith Piaf—is hardly novel; Reese Witherspoon and Jamie Foxx had already done so. But Cotillard’s commitment to the role was unique. She shaved her eyebrows and hairline for the role, later telling TIME: “_I looked terrible, so my hat collection increased dramatically._”

### Nine, 2009

![nine-marion-cottilard-best-roles](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaac12f305c652031/698865cef887dcc8e2e9298d/nine-marion-cottilard-best-roles.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Weinstein Company

One of Cotillard’s first post-Oscar movies put her onscreen with several far more seasoned performers, including Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, and Penélope Cruz. All were playing women in the life of Daniel Day-Lewis’s tormented film director, and each made a valiant attempt, in her respective moment in the film’s spotlight, to steal the movie away from her co-stars.


For all the movie’s campy theatricality, Cotillard ended up walking away with the film with “Take It All,” a simple, heartbreaking ballad about her broken marriage; the song was nominated for an Oscar, and Cotillard got her second of three Golden Globe nominations.

### Inception, 2010

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-inception](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd8cb46857f8d5a26/698865f9e20a87435ea8d846/marion-cottilard-best-roles-inception-3.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Warner Bros.

It was a surprise to see a rising star of highbrow cinema in a splashy summer blockbuster, and more surprising still to see just what Cotillard did with her tormented-diva role. As Mal, Cotillard was a mere projection of Leonardo DiCaprio’s memories. She also was alternately dangerous enough to represent the movie’s most substantial threat and seductive enough to keep audiences wanting more of her despite it all.


### Contagion, 2011

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-contagion](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta13bbc623db9277b/698865cf2dce0122789e5bf8/marion-cottilard-best-roles-contagion.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

MARION COTILLARD (left) as Dr. Leonora Orantes and CHIN HAN (right) as Sun Feng in the thriller “CONTAGION,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release. Warner Bros.

Another blockbuster, this one far-removed from the realm of fantasy. _Contagion_ forced Cotillard to tamp down the more passionate and emotional aspects of her acting; playing a WHO doctor held hostage by a village desperate for a much-needed vaccine, Cotillard was tightly controlled.

### The Dark Knight Rises, 2012

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-dark-knight-rises](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0bcc0392fdd98790/698865d0e20a8793baa8d7e9/marion-cottilard-best-roles-dark-knight-rises.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Warner Bros.


Cotillard’s mainstream period ended, for now, with _The Dark Knight Rises_, her second collaboration with Christopher Nolan. Cotillard’s character, with hidden motives and an aristocratic hauteur, differed wildly from _Inception_’s Mal; even working with the same commercially-minded director twice, she found totally new shades.

### Rust and Bone, 2012

![marion-cottilard-rust-and-bone](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt43344cb2cd48c147/698865d0f887dcbad7e92995/marion-cottilard-rust-and-bone.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Sony Pictures Classics

Perhaps other actresses could have done what Cotillard did, evoking tears instead of laughs as she dances with an orca to the strains of Katy Perry’s “Firework.” But none of them might have brought the viewer on quite such a journey to get to that point. In the French-language _Rust and Bone_, Cotillard gets fiercer than she’s ever been onscreen, as an embittered sea-life trainer who loses her legs when her orca turns on her, only to ultimately forgive herself.


 That Cotillard returned to European art cinema after years as an in-demand Hollywood star is surprising; that she did so in a project quite so idiosyncratic, and that demands quite such a lengthy and baroque journey from desperation to “Firework,” is downright shocking.

### The Immigrant, 2013

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-the-immigrant](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteeee7d2dc19482b3/698865d15f570f944fb1d98d/marion-cottilard-best-roles-the-immigrant.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

DSC\_1351.NEF Weinstein Company

Cotillard put herself through the wringer once more playing a Polish woman who’s endlessly exploited when she comes to America. It’s a tragedy in which Cotillard, dragged through illness, pain, and prostitution, finds some small semblances of grace.

### Two Days, One Night, 2014

![marion-cottilard-best-roles-two-days-one-night](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5c58e2921fca0f5d/698865d2bc6cfc398a3d9a3e/marion-cottilard-best-roles-two-days-one-night.jpg?branch=production&width=3840&quality=75&auto=webp)

Sundance Selects


The Dardenne brothers, a pair of Belgian social realists, never work with movie stars. Or, at least, they didn’t until Cotillard shed any last semblance of glamour and submitted to the rigorous emotional demands of their film. In _Two Days, One Night_, Cotillard is forced to beg her co-workers to support her continuing to work with them, even as her firing means they’d get bonuses.

 From the film’s painfully of-the-moment economic concerns to its seriousness of purpose, it’s far outside the movieland mainstream. But not so far that Cotillard couldn’t get a surprise Oscar nomination for Best Actress, her second.
