Mademoiselle Monday: Mlle Caron
“No matter what you do, your person comes through. You can’t completely change yourself on the screen. I had in mind someone colder and more in control, but I couldn’t do it. This human note just crept in and maybe it’s better.” -Leslie Caron “I regret not doing a film that I was offered with Clark Gable because the script was not good enough.” -Leslie Caron “I longed to break out of the system and do different roles.” -Leslie Caron “The American is wholeheartedly for love and romance at any cost.” -Leslie Caron 0
Sir Cecil
If you’re like me, you probably know Sir Cecil Beaton best for his photography… However, he was also known and very well respected for his work as a costume designer, artist, set designer and published diarist. He designed costumes for many hit movies, such as: Gigi (1958), Anna Karenina (1948) and My Fair Lady (1964) Now we can enjoy a bit of Cecil Beaton in our homes. His sketches were reproduced into a creation of wonderful fabrics and wallpapers. Here are some that I fancy. I especially love the Pelham Check. See more on cecilbeatonfabrics.com. Here are some examples of the fabric put to good use. Cecil Beaton was born…
