French actress Leslie Caron is celebrated for her roles in classic films like An American in Paris, Gigi, Lili, The Glass Slipper, Fanny, The L-Shaped Room, Father Goose, Valentino, and Daddy Long Legs. In a 1959 interview about The Man Who Understood Women, she revealed, “I’m only 5 feet 3, and the director put 4-inch heels on me so I wouldn’t look like a midget beside Henry [Fonda].” Caron’s grace and talent have made her a timeless icon in cinema.
