I also loved Marcello Mastroianni. Once in my late 20s maybe I went back
home and he was there chatting with my father, what a beautiful man.
Everybody liked my father, too. They wanted him for the pictures but he said

I also loved Catherine Deneuve. She had a superb style and was offered some
years ago a program on television. She was impeccable as a host, an
exceptional woman.
