Here is a beau­ti­ful song writ­ten by Charles Az­navour and per­formed by the great French croon­er Jean-​Claude Pas­cal, cho­sen to il­lus­trate the beau­ty and el­e­gance of French ac­tress Geneviève Page.
Long-​necked, doe-​eyed French lead­ing la­dy Geneviève Page (born Geneviève Anne Mar­guerite Bon­jean in 1927, in Paris, France) en­joyed a very long ca­reer, span­ning fifty years, in glam­orous roles, ap­pear­ing in French, Ital­ian, British and Amer­i­can films. Geneviève has fre­quent­ly been cast in cos­tume pic­tures as a delectable hero­ine who meets an un­time­ly demise. Among her great screen roles were Madame de Pom­padour in Chris­tian-​Jaque's "Fan-​Fan the Tulip" (1952) (along­side Gérard Philipe and Gi­na Lol­lo­b­rigi­da), Do­minique Danemore in Shel­don Reynolds' "For­eign In­trigue" (1956), Na­dia Fe­dor in Carmine Gal­lone's "Michel Stro­goff" (1956) (with Curd Jür­gens and Syl­va Kosci­na), Mary Bol­evas­co in Ric­car­do Fre­da's "Trapped in Tang­iers" (1958), Count­ess Marie in George Cukor and Charles Vi­dor's "Song With­out End" (1960) (with Dirk Bog­a­rde and Ca­pucine), Princess Ur­ra­ca in An­tho­ny Mann's "El Cid" (1961) (with Charl­ton He­s­ton and Sophia Loren), Madame Anais in Luis Buñuel's "Belle de Jour" (1967) (with Cather­ine Deneuve), Count­ess Lar­ish in Ter­ence Young's "May­er­ling" (1968) (again with Deneuve and Omar Sharif), Mar­got in John Kr­ish's "De­cline and Fall… of a Bird­watch­er" (1968), or the mys­te­ri­ous Gabrielle Val­ladon in Bil­ly Wilder's "The Pri­vate Life of Sher­lock Holmes" (1970). Even late in her ca­reer, Geneviève Page re­mained de­light­ful­ly dec­o­ra­tive in films like Robert Alt­man's "Be­yond Ther­a­py" (1987), Jacques De­r­ay's "Dark Woods" (1989), or Georges Laut­ner's "Stranger in the House" (1992). She con­tin­ued to act un­til 2003. She is al­so a very re­put­ed the­atre ac­tress.
En­joy Geneviève's class!
