Leslie Caron was born in Boulogne-sur-Seine, Seine (now Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine), the daughter of Margaret, a Franco-American dancer on Broadway, and Claude Caron, a French chemist, pharmacist, perfumer, and boutique owner. While her older brother Aimery Caron became a chemist like their father, Leslie was prepared for a performing career from childhood by her mother.
Caron started her career as a ballerina. Gene Kelly discovered her in the Roland Petit company Ballet des Champs Elysées and cast her to appear opposite him in the musical, An American in Paris (1951). This role led to a long-term MGM contract and a sequence of films which included the musical, The Glass Slipper (1955), and the drama, The Man with a Cloak (1951), with Joseph Cotten and Barbara Stanwyck.
In September 1951, Caron married American George Hormel II, a grandson of the founder of the Hormel meat-packing company. During that period, while under contract to MGM, she lived in Laurel Canyon in a Normandie style 1927 mansion near the country store on Laurel Canyon Blvd. One bedroom was all mirrored for her dancing rehearsals.
She starred in the successful musicals Lili (1953), with Mel Ferrer for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Caron then starred in more musicals like Daddy Long Legs (1955), with Fred Astaire; and Gigi (1958) with Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier.
Caron and her first husband George Hormel II divorced in 1954. She married British theatre director Peter Hall in 1956 and had two children with him: Christopher John Hall (TV producer) in 1957 and Jennifer Caron Hall, a writer, painter, and actress, in 1958.
When she and Hall divorced in 1965, Warren Beatty(with whom Leslie Caron had been having an affair) was named as a co-respondent and was ordered by the London court to pay the costs of the case.
For her performance in the British drama, The L-Shaped Room (1962), she won the BAFTA Award for Best British Actress and the Golden Globe, and was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
In the 1960s and thereafter, Caron worked in European films as well.

From June 1993 until September 2009, Caron owned and operated the hotel and restaurant, Auberge la Lucarne aux Chouettes (The Owls' Nest), in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, about 130 km (80 mi) south of Paris.

Biographie
Née de l'union d'un père français, Jean-Claude Caron, pharmacien, et d'une mère américaine, Margaret Petit, elle-même danseuse à Broadway et native de Seattle, Leslie Caron commence des études de danse classique à Paris à l’âge de 9 ans.
Entrée à 16 ans dans la troupe des ballets des Champs-Élysées de Roland Petit, elle tient, en 1948, le rôle du Sphinx dans le ballet de David Lichine La Rencontre, où elle est découverte par Gene Kelly qui est dans la salle et la choisit comme partenaire pour le film qu'il prépare avec Vincente Minnelli, Un Américain à Paris (1951).
Ne parlant pas anglais et n'ayant jamais joué devant une caméra, elle trouve le tournage difficile. Il fallait entre autres danser sur un sol en ciment qui faisait mal aux jambes et aux hanches. Elle trouve en revanche Gene Kelly d'une précision mathématique avec l'imaginaire d'un enfant.
L’énorme succès public et critique d'Un Américain à Paris lui ouvre les portes de Hollywood. Elle décroche un contrat avec la Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), pour laquelle elle tourne notamment:
Après une dernière grande production américaine, Fanny (1961), adaptation de la célèbre Trilogie marseillaise de Marcel Pagnol et de sa version musicale créée à Broadway en 1954, la comédienne apparaît dans quelques superproductions, comme Paris brûle-t-il ? (1966) de René Clément, mais surtout dans des films plus intimistes ou d'auteurs comme Jeux d'adultes (1967) de Nanni Loy, Sérail (1976) d'Eduardo de Gregorio, L'Homme qui aimait les femmes (1977) de François Truffaut ou bien encore La Diagonale du fou (1984) de Richard Dembo.
Coprésidente du jury de la Berlinale 1989, elle choisit de revenir s'installer en France après 40 ans passés à l'étranger afin de refaire du cinéma dans son pays d'origine mais reçoit peu de propositions. À l’affiche en 2001 dans Le Chocolat de Lasse Hallström aux côtés de Juliette Binoche, elle s'installe à Londres en janvier 2013. La même année, elle joue Suzanne de Persand dans Le Divorce de James Ivory, puis participe à Justice en accusation, un épisode écrit pour elle de la série télévisée américaine New York, unité spéciale, et qui lui permet de remporter l'Emmy de la meilleure actrice invitée dans une série dramatique en 2007.
Son étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame est dévoilée le 8 décembre 2009 sur Hollywood Boulevard, entre celles de Gene Kelly et Louis Jourdan. En février 2010, elle joue sur la scène du théâtre du Châtelet à Paris le rôle de Madame Armfeldt dans la comédie musicale A Little Night Music de Stephen Sondheim, inspirée du film Sourires d'une nuit d'été d'Ingmar Bergman. Elle retrouve en 2016 un rôle important à l'écran : celui d'une aristocrate excentrique dans la série télévisée britannique The Durrells sous la direction de son fils, Christopher Hall.
Leslie Caron a été mariée trois fois :
Alors qu'elle est mariée avec Peter Hall, elle rencontre à un dîner organisé pour fêter sa nomination aux Oscars pour La Chambre indiscrète en 1963 l'acteur Warren Beatty qui est un de ses grands admirateurs. Ils entament alors une liaison qui durera au moins deux ans. Elle a ouvert et tenu durant quinze ans le restaurant de cuisine traditionnelle « La Lucarne aux chouettes » à Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, celui-ci a été revendu en 2010. Elle louait près de là le Moulin-Neuf de Chaumot, qui avait appartenu au prince François-Xavier de Saxe (1730-1806). Further intreste

Profile of Olivia de HavillandDame Olivia Mary de Havilland DBE (July 1, 1916 – July 26, 2020) was a British-American actress. The major works of her cinematic career spanned from 1935 to 1988. She appeared in 49 feature films and was one of the leading actresses of her time. She was the oldest living and earliest surviving Academy Award winner until her death in July 2020. Her younger sister was the actress Joan Fontaine. De Havilland first came to prominence with Errol Flynn as a screen couple in adventure films such as Captain Blood (1935) and The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). One of her best-known roles is that of Melanie Hamilton in Gone with the Wind (1939), for which she received her first of five Oscar nominations. De Havilland departed from ingénue roles in the 1940s and later distinguished herself for performances in Hold Back the Dawn (1941), To Each His Own (1946), The Snake Pit (1948), and The Heiress (1949), receiving nominations for Best Actress for each and winning for To Each His Own and The Heiress. During her film career, de Havilland also collected two New York Film Critics Circle Awards, the National Board of Review Award for Best Actress, and the Venice Film Festival Volpi Cup. In addition to her film career, de Havilland continued her work in the theatre, appearing three times on Broadway, in Romeo and Juliet (1951), Candida (1952), and A Gift of Time (1962). She also worked in television, appearing in the successful miniseries Roots: The Next Generations (1979) and Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (1986), for which she received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Movie or Series. De Havilland lived in Paris from the 1955 and received honours such as the National Medal of the Arts, the Légion d'honneur, and the appointment to Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. For her contributions to the motion picture industry, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She and her sister Joan Fontaine remain the only siblings to have won major acting Academy Awards. Biography of Olivia de HavillandOlivia Mary de Havilland was born in Tokyo, Japan on 1 July 1916. By birth, Olivia was member of De Havilland family which belonged to landed gentry that originated from mainland Normandy. Her mother, Lilian Fontaine (née Ruse; 1886–1975) is a stage actress, and her father, Walter de Havilland (1872–1968), served as an English professor at the Imperial University in Tokyo City then a patent attorney. Olivia's younger sister Joan (Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland)—later known as actress Joan Fontaine—was born on 22 October 1917. Both sisters became British subjects automatically by birthright. In February 1919, Lilian persuaded her husband to take the family back to England for a climate better suited to their ailing daughters. They sailed aboard the SS Siberia Maru to San Francisco, where the family stopped to treat Olivia's tonsillitis. After Joan developed pneumonia, Lilian decided to remain with her daughters in California, where they eventually settled in the village of Saratoga, 50 miles (80 km) south of San Francisco. Her father abandoned the family and returned to his Japanese housekeeper, who eventually became his second wife. Olivia was raised to appreciate the arts, beginning with ballet lessons at the age of four and piano lessons a year later. She did well in her studies in schoool, and enjoyed reading, writing poetry, and drawing. In April 1925, after her divorce was finalised, Lilian married George Milan Fontaine, a department store manager for O. A. Hale & Co. in San Jose. Fontaine was a good provider and respectable businessman, but his strict parenting style generated animosity and later rebellion in both of his new stepdaughters. In 1933, a teenage de Havilland made her debut in amateur theatre in Alice in Wonderland, a production of the Saratoga Community Players based on the novel by Lewis Carroll. The next year, she was discovered by Max Reinhardt who persuaded her to sign a five-year contract with Warner Bros. On November 12, 1934, Olivia de Havilland signed the contract with a starting salary of $200 a week, marking the beginning of a professional acting career which would span more than 50 years. De Havilland made her screen debut in Reinhardt's A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was filmed at Warner Brothers studios. The film generated little enthusiasm with audiences, but her performance has been praised by the critics. That same year, De Havilland was cast in Captain Blood along with a then little-known contract bit-part actor and former extra, Errol Flynn. This film gave de Havilland the opportunity to appear in her first costumed historical romance and adventure epic, a genre to which she was well suited, given her beauty and elegance, and the on-screen chemistry between de Havilland and Flynn was evident from their first scenes together. Captain Blood was released on December 28, 1935, and was nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The popular success of the film, as well as the critical response to the on-screen couple, led to seven additional collaborations between Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn. One of them, The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), not only was an immediate critical and commercial success, earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, but also went on to become one of the most popular adventure films of the Classical Hollywood era; and another Western adventure Santa Fe Trail directed by Michael Curtiz became one of the top-grossing films of 1940. And their last film together, Raoul Walsh's epic They Died with Their Boots On, went on to earn $2,550,000, becomimg Warner Bros' second-biggest money-maker of 1941. The year when she bid farewell to her on screen lover Errol Flynn, she became a naturalized citizen of the United States, 10 days before the United States entered World War II militarily, alongside the Allied Forces. In a letter to a colleague dated November 18, 1938, film producer David O. Selznick wrote, "I would give anything if we had Olivia de Havilland under contract to us so that we could cast her as Melanie."The film he was preparing to shoot was Gone with the Wind, and Jack L. Warner was unwilling to lend her out for the project, but was Olivia de Havilland persuaded him smartly. She was signed to the project a few weeks before the start of principal photography on January 26, 1939. Gone with the Wind had its world premiere in Atlanta, Georgia, on December 15, 1939, and it won 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and de Havilland received her first nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Her work on Selznick's prestige picture, did not lead to the first-rate roles at Warner Bros. Olivia de Havilland she wished, however. "He would give me roles that really had no character or quality in them." as she put it. And she wanted out. But after fulfilling her seven-year Warner Bros. contract in 1943, she was informed that six months had been added to her contract for the times that she had been suspended. She decided to sue Warner Bros. and won the lawsuit. The decision was one of the most significant and far-reaching legal rulings in Hollywood, reducing the power of the studios and extending greater creative freedom to performers.California's resulting "seven-year rule", is still known today as the De Havilland Law. Her legal victory, which cost her $13,000 in legal fees, won de Havilland the respect and admiration of her peers, but boycotts from all Hollywood studios. As a consequence, de Havilland did not work at a film studio for nearly two years. Havilland earned the Academy Award for Best Actress for 1946 for her performance in To each his own—her first Oscar. Four years earlier, her sister Joan Fontaine earned her first Oscar for her performance in Suspicion(1941). And they remained the only sisters in Hollywood who have been awarded Oscar. And de Havilland got married, too. On August 26, 1946, she married Marcus Goodrich, a U.S. Navy veteran, journalist, and author of the novel Delilah (1941). On September 27, 1949, de Havilland gave birth to her first child, Benjamin. In October, the film The Heiress where she starred in was released. Based on the 1880 novel Washington Square by Henry James, the film is about a young naïve woman who falls in love with a young man, over the objections of her cruel and emotionally abusive father, who suspects the young man of being a fortune seeker. Directed by William Wyler, Olivia de Havillnd won the Academy Award for Best Actress—her second Oscar. After the birth of his son, de Havilland decided to take time off from making films to be with him. Her family moved to New York in 1950 where de Havilland dedicated herself to theatre and played the leading roles in classic plays like Romeo and Juliet of Shakespeare and Candida by George Bernard Shaw. The marriage did not work due to her husband Goodrich’ unstable temperament. In August 1952, Olivia de Havilland filed for divorce, which became final the following year, when she was ready to embark on her new life in Europe. In April 1953, at the invitation of the French government, Olivia de Havilland travelled to the Cannes Film Festival, where she met Pierre Galante, an executive editor for the French journal Paris Match. Following a long-distance courtship and the requisite nine-month residency requirement, de Havilland and Galante married on April 12, 1955, and settled together in a three-storey house near the Bois de Boulogne park in Paris' 16th Arrondissement. Her second child, Gisèle Galante, was born on July 18, 1956. For the next few years, Olivia de Havilland was busy raising her children, working in films on both continents as well as in theatre in The United States, and writing. In 1962, she published herfirst book, Every Frenchman Has One, a lighthearted account of her often amusing attempts to understand and adapt to French life, manners, and customs. The book sold out its first printing prior to the publication date and went on to become a bestseller. Of course the thing that staggers you when you first come to France is the fact that all the French speak French—even the children. Many Americans and Britishers who visit the country never quite adjust to this, and the idea persists that the natives speak the language just to show off or be difficult. That same year, she also separated from her second husband Galante, but they continued to live in the same house for another six years to raise their daughter together, and they remained close to each other for the rest of their life: Galante lived just across the street from her when he moved out, and during his final bout with lung cancer prior to his death in 1998, it was Olivia de Havilland who took care of him. It seems Melanie still continued living in her after almost 60 years of Gone with the Wind. Throughout the 1970s, de Havilland's film work was limited to smaller supporting roles and cameo appearances, as film roles became more difficult to find, a common problem shared by many Hollywood veterans from her era. She began working in television dramas, Olivia de Havilland’s performance in the television film Anastasia: The Mystery of Anna (1986), as Dowager Empress Maria, earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film. In 1988, de Havilland appeared in the HTV romantic television drama The Woman He Loved; it was her final screen performance. In retirement, de Havilland remained active in the film community. On November 17, 2008, at the age of 92, de Havilland received the National Medal of Arts, the highest honour conferred to an individual artist on behalf of the people of the United States. The medal was presented to her by President George W. Bush. On September 9, 2010, de Havilland was appointed a Chevalier (knight) of the Légion d'honneur, the highest decoration in France, awarded by President Nicolas Sarkozy, who told the actress, "You honour France for having chosen us." In June 2017, two weeks before her 101st birthday, de Havilland was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to drama by Queen Elizabeth II. She is the oldest woman ever to receive the honour. De Havilland died of natural causes in her sleep at her home in Paris, France on July 26, 2020, at the age of 104.

First published in 1962 by Random House, the memoir is a lighthearted account of the author's often amusing attempts to understand and adapt to French life, manners, and customs. In the book, de Havilland writes about French traffic, French maids, French salesladies, French holidays, French law, French doctors, and the French language—all with good humor and affection.

ProfileMark Shaw (June 25, 1921 – January 26, 1969) was an American fashion and celebrity photographer in the 1950s and 1960s. He worked for Life magazine from 1952 to 1968, during which time 27 issues of Life carried cover photos by Shaw. Shaw's work also appeared in Esquire, Harper's Bazaar, Mademoiselle, and many other publications. He is best known for his photographs of John F. Kennedy, his wife Jacqueline Kennedy, and their children, Caroline and John F. Kennedy, Jr. In 1964, many of these images were published in the book The John F. Kennedys: A Family Album, which became a bestseller. BiographyMark Shaw was born Mark Schlossman to working-class parents of Eastern European heritage in New York City and grew up on the Lower East Side. His mother was a seamstress and his father a sales man. They divorced while Shaw was still a boy. Later he attended New York University, where he studied industrial design, and Pratt Institute, where he studied engineering and likely was exposed to photography as well. In 1942, a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Shaw enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Force as Mark Schlossman(His mother and he later changed their surname from Schlossman to Shaw), recording his occupation at enlistment as "photographer". He served as a pilot throughout World War II, and was highly decorated, flying fighters with the British forces in the North African Campaign and later flying transports over The Hump from India to China. Due to his expertise with multiengine planes, he was then assigned to Russian General Georgy Zhukov as his personal pilot. Shaw also flew one of the escort planes accompanying General Douglas MacArthur on his way to Tokyo to accept the Japanese surrender. After the war, Shaw began his professional photography career in New York City, managing the photographic studio at Harper's Bazaar, where he came under the influence and mentorship of art director Alexey Brodovitch. From 1946 to 1948, Shaw did fashion photography for Harper's Bazaar and began acquiring advertising clients as well. In 1949, Shaw married Geraldine "Geri" Trotta, who was a professional fashion and travel writer for several publications including Mademoiselle. The couple bought a brownstone on the East side of midtown Manhattan. Shaw established his photography studio in a carriage house behind their home. Starting in 1951, Shaw contributed fashion images to Mademoiselle. In 1952, Shaw became a freelance photographer for Life magazine and preferred freelancing throughout his career so that he could retain the rights to all of his work—a goal which he was able to achieve even with his most famous images. His wife Trotta's connections further expanded Mark's access to celebrities and public figures, and his career flourished. Freelancing on over 100 assignments for Life, Shaw photographed many actresses, actors, politicians, and other celebrities, while also frequently working photo shoots in the fashion industry. He was the first photographer to portray the Paris fashion collections backstage in color. In 1953, probably because of his fashion experience, Shaw was assigned to photograph the young actress Audrey Hepburn during the filming of Paramount's Sabrina. Evasive at first, Hepburn became comfortable with Shaw's presence over a two-week period and allowed him to record many of her casual and private moments. This produced some of his best-known images, though most of the negatives were subsequently lost for many years. Life published several of these photos in the December 7, 1953 issue, which also carried a Shaw cover of Hepburn. The revealing, true-to-life photos that Mark took of Audrey are typical of his work and his photographic philosophy. He called his favorite pictures "snapshots." He preferred shooting on location to shooting in a studio—even though most of his financial success came from big ad campaigns, much of which was studio work. He liked a natural look and in order to keep his subjects relaxed he worked with as little photographic equipment as possible. Also during the 1950s, Shaw and fellow fashion and portrait photographer Richard Avedon contributed concurrently to a well-known, long-running ad campaign for Vanity Fair lingerie. Shaw won numerous Art Directors Club awards for his creative images in this campaign. By the late 1950s, Shaw's career was reaching its zenith. Among the famous figures he photographed were Brigitte Bardot, Cary Grant, Danny Kaye, Grace Kelly, Nico, Pablo Picasso, Yves St. Laurent, Elizabeth Taylor, and many others. In 1957 Shaw portrayed fashion designer Coco Chanel, actress Jeanne Moreau, and model Suzy Parker during a single shoot in Chanel's Paris apartment and fashion house. Life published several of these photos with a story on Chanel that appeared in the issue of August 19, 1957 (which was also Chanel's birthday). In 1959, Life chose Shaw to photograph Jacqueline Kennedy while her husband, Senator John F. Kennedy, was running for president. This assignment was the beginning of an enduring working relationship and personal friendship with the Kennedys that would eventually lead to Shaw's acceptance as the Kennedys' de facto "family photographer". He visited them at the White House and at Hyannisport; during this time he produced his most famous photographs, portraying the couple and their children in both official and casual settings. In 1964, Shaw published a collection of these images in his book The John F. Kennedys: A Family Album, which was very successful. In 1960, Shaw and his first wife Geri Trotta divorced. He and singer Pat Suzuki married on March 28, 1960. They had a son, David, two years later, and divorced in February 1965. Late in his career Shaw also worked in film, directing numerous television commercials for major companies. On January 26, 1969, Shaw died at his New York City apartment. His death was initially reported as a heart attack. An autopsy later revealed that Shaw had died of "acute and chronic intravenous amphetamine poisoning". At the time of his death, Shaw was being treated by physician Dr. Max Jacobson. Nicknamed "Dr. Feelgood" and "Miracle Max", Jacobson administered "vitamin shots" that consisted of a mixture of multivitamins, steroids, animal organ cells, hormones, placenta, bone marrow, and high doses of amphetamine to a number of high-profile celebrity clients. Shaw's death drew attention to Jacobson's practice which was publicly exposed in the media in December 1972. Jacobson eventually lost his medical license in 1975. Following Shaw's death, his estate, including his large body of photographic work, passed to his two ex-wives. In 1994, Shaw's son David Shaw and his wife Juliet Cuming took over management of Mark Shaw's photographic legacy and later purchased Geri Trotta's share of the collection. In 1999, they established the Mark Shaw Photographic Archive, in East Dummerston, Vermont, which is now the sole legal proprietor of Mark Shaw images. The Archive itself is housed in an off-the-grid straw-bale structure which they built themselves following sustainable principles. The building is powered by wind and solar energy. In December 2005, a few months after Geri Trotta, Mark Shaw's first wife's death, the long-lost negatives from 60 rolls of film Mark Shaw had shot on his 1953 Audrey Hepburn assignment were found in Trotta's residence. Selections from these rediscovered images were published in 2009 in the book Charmed by Audrey: Life on the Set of Sabrina. Further interest
