Title: French Film Stars
Review: I've admired Tom Tierney's paper dolls for years, so I guess it was because of my high expectations that my disappointment with this book was so huge. The illustrations were not up to his usual standard. The only accurate portrayals were of Juliette Binoche and Capucine. The Leslie Caron, Catherine Deneuve and Isabelle Adjani dolls bore no resemblance to the actresses whatsoever, and the others weren't that great either.It was also strange that one of the greatest stars of French cinema, Arletty, was not included while a relative newcomer like Audrey Tautou was.There was also an odd note in the text saying that Capucine and Audrey Hepburn became friends before they were famous, when both had been house models for Givenchy. Audrey Hepburn met Givenchy when she approached him to design costumes for "Sabrina". She was never his house model. It makes me wonder how accurate the notes about the other actresses were.
