*Please note that in the question "What are some of the roles you wished had played? ", the Charlie Chaplin film with Claire Bloom she mentions is "Limelight".
Most of my questions were based on the information from Leslie Caron's divine autobiography Thank Heaven: A Memoir. The interview is a small sliver of the rich life Leslie has lived.
