Life Itself (about Roger Ebert), Iris (about Iris Apfel) and The Wrecking Crew (session musicians in 50/60/70s LA) were all very enjoyable, exploring worlds that I would otherwise never encounter.LauraHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402103522466794364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-2084982061178260692017-12-19T21:18:32.221-05:002017-12-19T21:18:32.221-05:00Oh, goody.

I wondered if it was connected to bitterness about not beingbwelcomed by the industry there. I learned from research that, for example, she was co-owner of an inn in Burgundy. And her daughter is a well-regarded artist in Britain.<br />The story of your encounter is wonderful. I suspect those conversations were deeper than nearly anything possible from a Facebook<br /> “friend”.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-54712100899987024412017-12-19T15:09:08.554-05:002017-12-19T15:09:08.554-05:00I have the documentary saved on my DVR because I w...I have the documentary saved on my DVR because I want to watch it again. While much was not said about parts of her past, some mystery is not a bad thing in a time where social media types actually think we care about what they had for breakfast (we don't). In fact, she reminded me of an encounter I had in an airport when I was about 19. The woman was older, well-coifed, elegantly dressed and altogether delightful. We were both waiting for an international flight that was extremely late (in the days before you had an app for arrival updates). We met at the arrivals board and started chatting when we realized we were waiting for the same delayed flight. She was waiting for her buisnessman husband; I, for my parents. We ended up talking for several hours. She shared a little of her history (fascinating), as well as a few tidbits on marriage and getting older (she was probably in her late 60s). The one thing I have never forgotten was her saying, that in marriage one should always remain a little mysterious. It wasn't necessary to reveal everything about oneself. Not that one should be sneaky or lie, but to hold onto something of yourself. And, I remember, as she pointed out her husband coming through the arrivals door, watching his face and the pure joy he exuded upon seeing her again. It was clearly mutual. As she said, a little mystery is not a bad thing. Not for her and not for Ms Caron.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-69625305888362775402017-12-19T12:40:32.137-05:002017-12-19T12:40:32.137-05:00I hope that I can find it online here too...she is...I hope that I can find it online here too...she is a lovely woman.<br />Thank you for sharing this today...I am stuck in with a cold and could use a distraction!<br />A fabulous french femme wearing gorgeous pearls sounds like just the thing!hostess of the humble bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453827257671312902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-62142543868744034062017-12-19T09:34:27.539-05:002017-12-19T09:34:27.539-05:00That was lovely.

But I also think that's how older stars keep their glamour and why they continue to intrigue us - they don't tell us everything - they keep us wondering and interested in them.<br /><br />I also highly recommend this documentary - and yes, the pearls were gorgeous.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
