Leslie Caron
Well, Ms Caron was every bit as poised and graceful as I thought she would be. I sat next to her at the luncheon at Cliveden and we chattted happily about all sorts.She was particularly critical of French employment laws which she has encountered during her time as a hotelier. Apparently even when an employee resigns you have to pay them for the next three months. Sadly she is selling her hotel as it is not viable in the economic climate.
A hushed audience loved her tales of Hollywood and working with legends such as Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Sadly the luncheon over ran and many people had to rush off - a great shame. Nevertheless a super event.
