5 Things You Need to Know About Francine Villeneuve
1. She chose an Oscar winner to be the star of the ‘Francine Villeneuve’ movie.  
“I’d pick Reese Witherspoon because she has a likeable personality, has a small stature and maybe, but we don't know, has some serious athletic ability.”
 
2. She reaches for the Kleenex when she hears this song and watches this movie…
“The one song that always makes me cry is One More Day and the movie that always gets me is Born Free.”
 
3. If she had the chance to sit down for dinner with three people, dead or alive, she opted for an impressive trio.
“I would love the opportunity to have dinner and a great conversation with (musician) Prince, Prince Harry and (Nobel Prize winner) Malala Yousafzai. They are all very inspirational people. For dinner, we’d have Chicken Cordon Bleu.”
 
4. If she had to choose one singer/musician she’s embarrassed to admit she likes to listen to, Villeneuve went with a love him/hate him star.
“That would have to be Justin Bieber.”
 
5. She’s had the odd embarrassing moment during her riding career.
“I went to the paddock to ride a race, discussed strategy with the owner and looked at my arm number and realized I was standing by the wrong horse!”
