Such disconnected nuances reveal a truth that formal history can hardly capture, and they are in absolute contrast to the craft of acting. In the Guinness film, Eva Braun was played as a glamour puss, vaguely resembling Dominique Sanda. The real version was otherwise: a giggling, curly blonde Aryan squaw, smooching with a rabbit, proudly doing calisthenics on the beach of the Konigssee, or coquettishly persuading the Scourge of History to screen Gone With the Wind just once again because she loves Clark Gable. Allowing for variations of costume and language, these domestic scenes could be happening today, anywhere from...
...leading roles were conceived for French Stars Jean-Louis Trintignant and Dominique Sanda, but both turned out to be unavailable. Bertolucci interviewed some 100 actresses for the role of Jeanne, finally chose Schneider because she seemed "a Lolita, but more perverse," and because, when Bertolucci asked her to take off all her clothes during a screen test, "she became much more natural." The illegitimate daughter of French Actor Daniel Gélin, Schneider has been a child of Paris' swarming Montparnasse scene since she was 15. Her prior professional experience was casually squeezed in between painting, modeling, touring discoth...
...part-which requires him to be devastatingly witty and mean, yet somehow sympathetic-is perhaps the most demanding that Bates has ever played. "He's got amazing colors as an actor," says John Frankenheimer, who directed him, together with Co-Star Dominique Sanda, in the recently completed movie Impossible Object.

Dominique Sanda has not been happy with reporters because they write mostly about her sensational body and her long, lithe legs, her enormous blue-gray eyes, her mysterious air and her supposedly wild past. At 21, with six movies behind her, she is not only a star, but already a mother, and she insists that her mind is intent on graver matters. "I'm trying to be a serious actress," she says sternly, "and I hope you will write a serious story. It would be just about the first...
Until recently, in fact-probably until her alliance with the 45-year-old Marquand, who fathered her two-month-old boy-Sanda was in constant rebellion against a stringent French Catholic upbringing. When her parents refused to let her attend an art school in Paris, she left home at 16 and became a model. Success, travel and money came almost instantaneously. Some nude pictures taken at that time found their way into Playboy only this year, much to her disgust. "The nudity was an act of personal vengeance against my very strict upbringing," she explains. "Today it seems stupid...
