      Ah, yes. Elevator to the Gallows. The bit with Jeanne walking amidst the Paris rain to Miles, searching for her lover, is one of my best sequences of all film. And, Jeanne is one of my all time favorite actresses, from any country, from anytime. She is a rare beauty with such depth, intelligence, and poetry. What a woman. I would've given anything to have met her. Just to watch her walk. In the rain.

    Dick is smitten as a kitten avec la femme! She has an innate sensual quality few women possess. As well as acting, she was a writer, producer, director and accomplished singer. A Renaissance woman. I also like her reference to the " magic circle. " Another of my favorite actors, Jack Lemmon, was known to have said before a scene, " It's MAGIC time! " This fits so well. Every person on the set and in the scene is totally focused on the NOW. And frequently, something spellbinding is captured on film. For the definitive interview, see James Lipton in Paris.

    Many actors are by-lingual, Jeanie Moreau was one of the many beautiful actors we grew up with. But the clip I just watched about Lee Marvin's Academy Award for "Cat Biliou" and their interview was a treasure. Lee Marvin was so versatile and could play any part. Paint you Wagon was another treasure and I still love his ""Born under a wandering Star". They were true actors not today's puffed up Tom Cruises. Thanks for the memories.

    Marilu Henner, best known for her role as Elaine Nardo on the TV show Taxi, only ever had to read a script once. From there she could not only repeat her lines verbatim years later, but often prompted other actors on the set who'd forgotten their own lines. This is because she's one of about a dozen people in the world proven to have total recall of every moment of her post-infancy waking life.
