Leslie Caron Career

Career

Caron was born as a ballerina. Gene Kelly developed her character in Roland Petit's "Ballet des Champs Elysées" and directed her to play opposite him in the 1960-1951 French musical An American (Bounchy, 1953), which was also a role for which a pregnant Cyd Charisse was first portrayed. The soaring, sun, and aboundance of California brought about a cultural shock to Caron. She had lived in Paris during the German occupation, which left her malnourished and anemic. She later described how nice people were in comparison to wartime Paris, in which poverty and hunger had caused people to be angry and violent. She had a good friend with Kelly, who described her as "Lester the Pester" and "kid." Kelly helped the inexperienced Caron, who had never spoken on stage—adjust to filmmaking.

Her work culminated in a seven-year MGM deal. The films that followed included the musical The Glass Slipper (1955) and The Man with a Cloak (1951), starring Joseph Cotten and Barbara Stanwyck. Despite this, Caron has maintained that "Unfortunately, Hollywood regards musical dancers as hoofers." "Regrettable expression" is used in this book. She appeared in Lili (1953), with Mel Ferrer; Daddy Long Legs (1955), with Fred Astaire; and Gigi (1958) with Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier.

Despite her fame ("I thought musicals were futile and silly"), Caron continued her education ("I think musicals are futile and stupid," she said in 2021; "I think they are much more valuable now." Caron appeared in European films in the 1960s and the years afterward. She received the BAFTA Award for Best British Actress and the Golden Globe in 1962, and was nominated for the Best Actress Award. Father Goose (1964) with Cary Grant; Ken Russell's Valentino (1977), in the role of silent-screen icon Alla Nazimova; and Louis Malle's Damage (1992). Caron was one of many actresses considered for lead roles in Disney's Bedknobs and Broomsticks back in 1970, losing the role to British actor Angela Lansbury.

She appeared on the jury of the 5th Moscow International Film Festival in 1967 (MIFF). She appeared at the 39th Berlin International Film Festival in 1989 as a member of the jury.

Caron regained France in the early 1970s, a mistake she later regretted. "They adore anyone who is really British or really American," Caron said, "but there is no one who has made it in Hollywood" – and I was the only one who had to apologize." Nicole Sauguet appeared in many episodes of the soap opera Falcon Crest during the 1980s. Caron is one of the few actresses from MGM's golden age of film acting — a group that includes Rita Moreno, Margaret O'Brien, and June Lockhart. Caron's later films include Funny Bones (1995) with Jerry Lewis and Oliver Platt; The Last of the Blonde Bombshells (2000) with Judi Dench and Cleo Laine; Chocolat (2000) and Le Divorce (2003), directed by James Ivory, with Kate Hudson and Naomi Watts; and The Last of the Blonde Bombshells (2004) with Jerry Lewis and Margaret Watts;

Caron appeared in The Songs of Alan Jay Lerner: I Remember It Well, a retrospective concert produced by San Francisco's 42nd Street Moon Company, on June 30, 2003. She was given a Primetime Emmy Award for her 2007 appearance on Law and Order: The Special Victims Unit. Caron paid a visit to Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe at the Paley Center for Media on April 27, 2009.

Caron was inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame on December 8, 2009, with a motion pictures star located at 6153 Hollywood Boulevard in honor of her contributions to the film industry. Madame Armfeldt appeared in A Little Night Music in Paris in February 2010, which also featured Greta Scacchi and Lambert Wilson.

Caron appeared in The Durrells, a ITV television series starring her son Christopher Hall, as the Countess Mavrodaki in 2016.

Leslie Caron, a veteran documentary filmmaker, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on June 28, 2016.
