Capucine
Capucine starred in the classic 1963 crime caper directed by Blake Edwards, “The Pink Panther”, alongside David Niven, Peter Sellers, & Claudia Cardinale.

Close friends with Audrey Hepburn, Capucine was an elegant and beautiful actress of whom Federico Fellini is quoted as saying “she had a face to launch a thousand ships… but she was born too late”.

Capucine showed her comic side in “The Pink Panther”, clowning and pratfalling alongside Peter Sellers, and the film gave birth to the animated cat as well as the classic film character of Clouseau who would return in later outings.

When Peter Sellers was cast as Inspector Clouseau in what was supposed to be a David Niven vehicle, Sellers stole the film with his bumbling police detective, but Capucine held her own in scenes with the comic actor and displayed a gift for physical comedy that punctured her dignified and elegant on-screen persona.

One of cinema’s most wonderful scenes is at the beginning of the film when Capucine is attempting to evade capture following a jewellery heist. The section where Capucine turns her Yves Saint Laurent couture inside-out in a lift to create a whole new outfit surely ranks as one of the most stylish film moments.
