Happy 89th birthday, leslie caron!

It's funny she and Olivia de Havilland share a birthday, since they're two of the very last big stars of the old studio era left!

My first trip to Paris in the 1990s and I was sitting my first morning at a lovely and typical outdoor cafe on the Champs-Elysees having an espresso and croissant and who strolled by?

Leslie Caron, wearing an elegant long woolen cape with a matching scarf. It couldn't have been a more appropriate welcome to the city.

Leslie Caron was a big star?

Yep.

Didn't she do a commercial for a television brand? "My dress is blue, my skin is green, my hair is orange, my eyes are baby shit color..."

Caron was wonderful in Gigi. Of course, Caron is not why we watch it.

Charming and poignant in Lili, excellent and real in The L-Shaped Room.

I hope one day before she died Aunt Alicia discovered that that yellow diamond was really a topaz after all. it would have served the old stuck-up bat right.

She was on a few episodes of The Durrells. Her son is the executive producer.

She's unusual for two high-profile popular studio films--"Lili" and "Gigi"--but did not attract much attention outside of them. Yet both are beloved and famous.

Uhhhhh.... American in Paris. You left out American in Paris.
