They humored her however, by inviting her to an endless stream of grand festivities in their spectacular home—modeled after the pyramid of the Louvre. Jean-Claude’s work as a noted mime will pose a few problems in their relationship, but Christina will win every dispute by countering his “I’m-stuck-in-a-box” gestures with lucid arguments. Their two children (one boy and one girl) were growing up bilingual with the ability to speak English and mime...
