Sofia Coppola has first baby, a girl

Film director Sofia Coppola, daughter of Oscar-winner Francis Ford Coppola, has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Romy, her spokesman, Robert Garlock, confirmed Wednesday.

The baby was born Tuesday in Paris to Coppola and her boyfriend, Thomas Mars, singer for the French rock band Phoenix.

Coppola, 35, won a best screenplay Oscar for Lost in Translation and was director of The Virgin Suicides and recently, Marie Antoinette.

Too Young, a song by Phoenix, was part of the Lost in Translation soundtrack.

The pop-rock band, already big in France, is trying to build a following in North America with It's Never Been Like That, its third album.

Coppola was married to director Spike Jonze for four years but the pair divorced in 2003.
