Jeanne Moreau dies at 89 years old

[Tenebrae]

Just wanted to drop by and share the sad news. I feel terrible, really. Another French great passes away...

Usually I'd share some biographical elements and whatnot, but right now I just don't have the strength. Rest in peace, merveilleuse Jeanne

Very sad news indeed. Rest In Peace, Ms. Moreau.
While she was most famous for her films in France such as Jules et Jim, I greatly enjoyed her as an F/m tickler in the English language film Great Catherine.

Now I'm interested. That film has passed me by; I will look out for it. I've just done a search on it and discovered that it was originally a play by George Bernard Shaw. I don't suppose the tickling scene was in old GBS's play too, was it?

It's extraordinary how often stories of tickling are associated with Catherine the Great and the Tsarist aristocracy. Seems there might be some truth in it. No smoke without fire.

We broached the subject here once (posts #3 and #4):

Yes, it is featured in Shaw's play also. 😀

How did I not know this? I'll have to get it.

C'est la vie. Even the best of us cannot compete with time. 🙁
