French Actress Catherine Deneuve is only 24, but she is already a veteran of 22 films in which she has been seduced almost as often as Bardot. She is also France's fastest-rising female star, and is currently on view in the U.S. in three thoroughly dissimilar films. Benjamin is a frivolous froth of a costume piece, dedicated to the proposition that upper-class sex in 18th century France was frisky, witty, pretty and piquant.

The critics thought she was splendid, and so did Papa James, who announced that henceforth "my ambition is to be known as Portland's father...
...agency polled a sampling of London's young ladies. Which of twelve women would the girls most want to look like? Twiggy, who figured to be an odds-on favorite, finished a very flat tenth. In front of her were a couple of more familiar matrons: Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor. Ahead of them came Jacqueline Kennedy. At the top by a wide margin: Britain's favorite model, Jean Shrimpton, 24, who pointed unerringly to her advantage over the likes of the Twig: "I'm not so thin...
