Enjoy your weekend everyone! Images are of Leslie Caron, around the time she did Gigi (my favorite movie), taken by Cecil Beaton. 
Caron was born in 1931 and is still living, even occasionally acting! 
She currently runs a bed and breakfast named Auberge La Lucarne aux Chouettes (The Owls' Nest Inn) which is located outside of Paris in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne. I'm sure it's delightful!

Gigi is one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought she was the most beautiful actress from the 50s and has STAYED beautiful gracefully. Did you see her in Le Divorce?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who likes Gigi!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeletebeautiful woman.
ReplyDeleteShe is so touching ! those pictures are not like any picture , she literally make pixels come alive ! .... very rare , not many people have that talent no mater who's the photographer .
ReplyDeleteGreat new header! Patricia does amazing work.
ReplyDeleteAh, youth. It's amusing that you seem to find it exceptional that Leslie Caron is "still alive" and see fit to apprise us of that fact. Rest assured that there are plenty of us who know and respect her work and that when she does pass on, it will merit some press attention.
ReplyDeleteDo find your blog very entertaining and you seem to be a delightful young man.
She's so beautiful. I love GiGi too. I can't count how many times I've seen it. Now that you've mentioned it I want to see it again.
