Happy Birthday (October 22) to actress, Catherine Deneuve!
I remember Catherine Deneuve in my youth being touted as the most beautiful woman in the world (something about being blond and the perfect symmetry of her facial features). She was once the face of Chanel No. 5 and caused sales to soar in the USA. Supposedly, her friends have even said that she is much more beautiful in person than her pictures can convey. So, of course, while in Paris she was on my mind. She must have driven around town, walked these streets, eaten at these bistros, mobbed by the crowds like the beautiful Helen of Troy would have been ...
Our conversation:
Me: Do you ever see Ms Catherine Deneuve? What is she like in person?
Friendly Taxi Driver: *turns around and points to my spot by the taxi's window*
She was once my passenger and sat where you're sitting now.
Me: Was she very beautiful?
Friendly Taxi Driver: No.
*shakes his head for emphasis*
Not nice.
Not pretty on the inside.
Though I had just met Mr Taxi Driver and was not prepared for his blunt answer, there was something about his choice of words, tone of voice, and demeanor that made him believable to me.
Oh, Ms Deneuve -- what did you do or say to this man??!
