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 Young Girls of Roche fort, a disappointing follow-up to Jacques Demy's ethereal The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, is a treacly...

Adults Only? In Dallas, Viva Maria, a Brigitte Bardot-Jeanne Moreau movie, was barred to children. City Attorney N. Alex Bickley conceded that Viva was a "marginal case."

Precocious was the polite word for Portland Mason, only daughter of Actor James Mason and ex-Wife Pamela. The girl gave up smoking at the age of eight and almost won a Brigitte Bardot look-alike contest at 12. Now 19, Portland has made her London acting debut in a revival of Oscar Wilde's A Woman of No Importance, playing-of all things-a puritanical little prig.

...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...
