Un pizzico d'invidia...

Un libro godibilissimo, una storia vera, la "sua" storia, quella di Simone Signoret, moglie di Yves Montand, attrice un pò per caso, un pò per necessità. Attraverso eventi che hanno segnato la storia, quella con la "S" maiuscola, Simone si muove con leggerezza, senza quel divismo sfrontato che caratterizza le star di oggi. A cena con Picasso, ad una festa a casa di Gregory Peck, ospite di Jane Fonda, il tutto come se facesse parte di una quotidianità naturale. E poi l'incontro con Krushev, il visto americano a lungo atteso durante il maccartismo, il tour in Unione Sovietica al fianco di Montand, il Vietnam e l'Algeria, il '68 francese, la notte degli Oscar e tanto altro ancora. Una summa di cinema, teatro, storia, politica, evoluzioni interiori ed esteriori, a volte spettatrice a volte artefice del corso degli eventi. Una testimonianza autentica e dimessa di una vera signora del cinema come nella vita.

Book description
Simone Signoret this best-selling autobiography in her last decade.  By that time, she had graced French cinema and theater for more than 30 years.  Born into an intellectual family, Signoret (she took her mother’s maiden name during the German Occupation in World War II to hide her Jewish roots) was called "the thinking man’s sex symbol." In the 1950s, she was known as much for the left-wing politics she shared with her second husband, Yves Montand, as for her roles in movies such as La ronde, Casque d’or, and Diabolique. In 1959, she became the first French actress to win an Academy Award, for the British film Room at the Top.
