French-born Claudine was with a Folies-Bergère revue in Las Vegas in 1961. The same year she and Williams were married. They led freewheeling lives for the last few of the 14 years they were married.

Whatever she expected was not nearly as unnerving as what she got. Accustomed to the deference and more leisurely tempo of old-style Hollywood film makers, she was unprepared for the whirlwind 36-day shooting schedule.
