I managed to find this streaming on Amazon Prime. I fell in love with Leslie Caron after seeing her in "An American in Paris" made in 1951 and then "Lili", an even better role, made in 1953. In this filmed series of interviews she talks about her early days, her Hollywood contract days, her return to France to build her career there, then her decision to move to England where her second husband is from, and where her son now works in TV and movie production.
This was apparently filmed in 2015 and/or 2016, when she would have been in her mid-80s, still vibrant, intelligent, and attractive for a woman her age. Now, in 2023, she will be in her 90s and, I presume, still going strong.
This is a nice presentation, even for those who might not be a big Leslie Caron fan. It is very interesting to see how this small, shy dancer from a small town in France quite by accident became an international star after she was noticed by Gene Kelly.
