Claudia in Black & White


Did you know that bella (& smart) Claudia was born in Tunisia (of Sicilian parents)? Here's a good link to a UK site--a Tribute to Claudia Cardinale. Much, much better photographs than here. I like the one of her on a Roman street (left in collage); it's so familiar. She has a book called "My Tunisia." Alas, I cannot find it (yet). Ciao.

Rome, 1961/LIFE archives; the others are via we heart it, from Femenino plural & por FactoryGirl photography/tumblr; pASTelgIRL/flickr]

Hi Susan
What a beauty... and natural beauty at that! Some women just 'have it' and Claudia certainly did...

Have a great week xx Julie

Yes, she does. She still does!

I just saw her recently in W.Herzog's Fitzgeraldo, she's absolutely stunning! A real woman. Btw, have you seen Burden of Dreams? A documentary about Werner Herzog and the making of Fitzgeraldo? You should see it, it's amazing. Available on Netflix.

TT--Burden of Dreams has languished in Netflix Queue. Shall ask the Netflix Fairy to bring it this coming week...thanks for the nudge.
