Good news for fans of classic film in general, and musicals in particular: Leslie Caron's autobiography, THANK HEAVEN, will be released later this week. The book's publication date is November 25, 2009. Caron's book should be very interesting. The stories she tells in DVD interviews (i.e., AN AMERICAN IN PARIS ) about her experiences as a young ballerina, transitioning from war-torn Paris to Hollywood,...

Many of my real life friendships were forged on Makeupalley. We all managed to stumble across MUA at a great moment in time. It was the golden age. The boards were shimmering with a fabulous group of women who had a great love of beauty products. The boards were often cliquish and resembled a high school cafeteria. There were bullies, snobs and the cool kids under the stairs. I frequented the fragrance...

In the "Mad Men" era, they were the pinnacles of sophisticated pin-upry: grown-up, smart and sexy. That's as good a reason as any for the recent explosion of biographies of iconic actresses of the 1950s and '60s.

'I'm 78. There are a few wrinkles, a few sags, but very sparkly eyes' I see a woman who has aged very well. I'm 78. There are a few wrinkles, a few sags, but very sparkly eyes and a tendency to giggle and smile a lot. People say I look remarkable for my age, which is flattering, and I am able to do an awful lot with my life, and that is the main thing for me, to be active. I have had a hip operation...

More years ago than I care to remember, or confess to, I fell in love (or was it lust!) with that wonderful French actress with the soft seductive accent, Leslie Caron. She made hearts flutter, mine included, in 'American in Paris', 'Gigi', and more recently 'Chocolat'. As far as female screen icons go she is up there with the best. Well, at the Cheltenham Literary Festival this year, I had the greatest...

Tuesday evening last week I managed to get very close to Leslie Caron . It was at one of the National Theatre's platform events where they talk about somebody and there is usually a book signing involved. Old queens, people close to death or a combination of the above seemed to make up the audience. Although there was one guy who took up two chairs that was definitely younger than me there... He sat...

For no reason I can articulate that would be flattering to myself as a person, I seem to get real excited whenever Turner Classic Movies finds something to show from the seventies that I've never even heard of, let alone seen before. This last happened almost six months ago with Robert Mulligan's The Pursuit of Happiness , and last night it happened again with Chandler (1971)) , a rare starring vehicle...

When discussing this weekend's opening of "An Education" with my Envelope colleague Paul Sheehan, he said something worth repeating — and illustrating pictorially. "Admit it!" he roared. "What's the first thing you thought of when you heard about this movie in the Oscar derby? 'Roman Holiday'!" Aha! Bravo, Paul! Yes, both films star a relatively obscure, statuesque...
