...idea that one day she would take over the whole outfit. But she did know she had an affinity for the designer's glamorous, effortless style. In the late 1970s and 1980s, when Azzaro was famous for dressing bombshells like Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch, Seward was a schoolgirl growing up just around the corner from the glitzy Azzaro boutique on Paris's Faubourg St.-Honor?.

Raoul agrees to accompany Frederic on his oblivious quest for Viviane, an adventure that introduces some new players to the exploding drama, like the pert schoolgirl Camille (Virginie Leodyen, who’s getting a little old to play these parts).

The story’s second (and supposedly better) half has been postponed until April 16, so make sure to experience this first sanguineous volume on the big screen. Tickets $1. 8 p.m. Science Center...

The wall-sized Large Girl with No Eyes, painted in 2001 in a pseudo-Pop Art style, shows a close-up of a blond schoolgirl's face abruptly eclipsed by a blue-black swathe across her eyes. Maria de Corral, who is curating the show when it moves to Madrid in June, called it "a kind of antiportrait." What unifies the show is the sheer size of the pictures. "The dimension is an integral part...
