Glamourous French beauty, model, and actress Capucine would have been a mere eighty today, had fate been kinder.
If her American career never quite equaled the amount of publicity it received, she was nonetheless something more than merely decorative in a number of pictures, not least as madam Barbara Stanwyck's Number One Girl in Walk on the Wild Side.
Like so many lovely ladies, she was a Troubled Girl; I hope we all will judge her gently, and remember a time when it was expected that stars would be elegant, distant, cool, and often foreign.
she looks so much like Anouk Aimee, I'd almost mistake one for the other.
