Moreau's face proves that beauty need not be fair. In every Moreau film, the unforgettable moment is when the camera draws in close and fixes its attention squarely upon her. It is then that her beauty is evident-as in the sight of her quiet ecstasy in The Lovers, or the crucial, almost unbearable sequence in Le Dialogue des Carmélites when tears spill down from her staring eyes. Jules and Jim showed her in librarian's glasses, wearing a charcoal mustache, smoking an Italian cigar -yet it was still perfectly conceivable that the boys fell...
...role in a boulevard production of The Dazzling Hour. On her second night, the show's star fell ill and Jeanne was asked to play her role. Jeanne learned the new part overnight, and the next evening, since the two characters were never onstage at the same moment, she appeared in both roles, alternating between "an honest woman who feels like a street walker and a streetwalker who feels like an honest woman."

And if she wasn't an actress, after all, she was very little...
...debating whether it should impose firmer controls on the French economy. Influential former Premier Michel Debré is pressing for more controls; Pompidou and Finance Minister Valéry Giscard d'Estaing argue for more free enterprise. Though the Gaullists see no compelling political reasons at the moment for relaxing the present unpopular controls, most Frenchmen are confident that relief will come later this year. Reason: the next French presidential election must be held by December, and De Gaulle will want his voters to be contented and prospering...
