Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan--1980 Australian TV interview, Gigi

Leslie Caron and Louis Jourdan discuss their careers, as well as their co-starring roles in "Gigi," in this 1980 TV appearance with Australia's Don Lane. Caron and Jourdan were again co-starring in the play "13 Rue d'lamour".

One of the most elegant actors ever. Leslie is as lovely as ever.

[@glamdolly30]

Louis Jourdan was pure class. I was surprised to see how slight he was - but what huge charisma!

[@MysteryManfrom79]

He was 6ft in height however - it's just that Don Lake was well over 6ft so made him look even smaller!

[@MoonQueen1010]

Louis has the same calm voice that he had in The Swan to talk to Alexandra. I just love it

[@rosekastel4610]

Louis Jourdan, not only handsome and charming, but smart about the worrying.

[@doointhedoo]

I remember seeing Gigi when I was 12 years old or so. I instantly fell in love with Leslie Caron and have been in love ever since. :)

[@annwalsh5065]

I admired Mr. Jourdan after learning he was in the "French Resistance" during WWII. - Not only handsome but brave too!

[@sherryalingod1168]

Louis Jourdan is such a handsome, dashing gentleman ❤❤❤

[@BinkyTheGoddessDivine]

He seemed like a true gentleman. When he said he's an optimist it's so ironic that a year later his only son would OD and die. Sad story.

[@CarlosEmilioEsq]

Jourdan . . . that voice . . . it's like slipping into a pair of handmade leather shoes.

[@lepetitchat123]

Wish this interview was longer

[@501archer]

I never thought that Leslie Caron was beautiful but she was utterly delightful and very elegant and well-spoken and I grew to love her in her films.

[@richardmayora5310]

See an opthamologist.

[@estelaquinteros7874]

Leslie Caron es hermosa.Tiene una belleza pura..Es muy femenina

[@KZ-vj6km]

of course she's beautiful, what on earth are you talking about

[@alison2649]

Just curious,do you think she was “passing”? Passing for white I mean? I’m so intrigued by her. She’s clearly racially ambiguous. But I’ve always wondered what other ppl thought?

[@fabianpatrizio2865]

what a difference compared to interviews nowadays.......manners and style as it was then :)

[@jillkjv3816]

What a treasure this is. 😊❤

[@roxannemoore3045]

They both look so great.

[@susanne9602]

Louis Jourdan was my girlhood crush

[@manasmaisnam606]

leslie caron is so charming here..... and jordan too is very handsome

[@bernietinirau8160]

Delightful interview,thank you so much for sharing it.

[@vanmontgomery3754]

A very charming gentleman !

[@timfrancis7430]

Wow Jourdan is so handsome!

[@MoonQueen1010]

Tim Francis Most handsome actor ever

[@TinaRus-cd3pv]

@@MoonQueen1010 Indeed Tim!!!!!!

[@tiadaid]

The host is probably the most American sounding Aussie I’ve ever heard.

[@timcountis9368]

Don Lane was American, but he had a show in Oz.

[@chrismel9142]

I saw Gigi and I think Leslie Caron stole it. Not that the other actors weren't good but to me she was the best.

[@jameswilliams663]

Chris Mel I must have been impressed with GiGi, my father, who was 30yrs old, took me 5 yrs, and me older twin brothers, 8 yrs twins, took the three of us to the Kent movie theater in Brooklyn NY. One of my earliest childhood memories. Love GiGi to this day.

[@lepetitchat123]

Everyone was perfectly cast in that film. Not just Leslie. Maybe you think so because you are her fan

[@Twentythousandlps]

You can't steal a movie if you're the main character.

[@Agui007]

Louis had a great life of 93! 🎉😮

[@timcountis9368]

Leslie is still with us at 93.

[@glamdolly30]

Wow Leslie Caron clearly didn't like Maurice Chevalier! Look how stony faced she went at the mention of her name. Louis Jourdan knew of her dislike - see how he puts his hand on her back in solidarity, as he praises Chevalier's professionalism - not the man!

[@terryblack2844]

Always a fan of the handsome and debonair Louis. However, looks like he isn’t wearing makeup. With the harsh lighting and camera angles, his people should have insisted. Gigi is a delightful movie and one of my favorites. Thank you for sharing from Dallas Texas

[@donaldwarren463]

Caron's mother was from Topeka Kansas , and more or less forced to speak French, appar. they all made fun of her for her efforts , and really never taught Leslie very much English - but some ... Miss Caron's autobiog. is very interesting ..

[@patricebest545]

Just watched LJ in What's My Line do great American accent about 1954

[@rocioguerrero7176]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@glamdolly30]

Louis Jourdan was a man of modesty and humility, who wore his huge talent and success lightly. Alas by all accounts the same could not be said of Leslie Caron - whose ego was at its most inflated after she married the great English theatre director Sir Peter Hall.

[@yvonneheald3616]

Lesile Caron so stuck up and such an ego. Obviously jealous of Chevalier and his amazing talent. Something she never could aspire to.

[@user-jo9uq9vi6m]

とってもハンサムですらっとしてて素敵！

[@user-jo9uq9vi6m]

@Happy Harry 美しさとコケティッシュな魅力がある女優さん。オードリーがファニーフェイスと言われていた様な同じものを感じる。

[@Weesperbuurt]

A New Yawk accent in Australia.

[@Reshme77]

Did Maurice do anything bad to Leslie...?

[@cart172]

Can someone fill me in on why Leslie disliked Maurice so much?

[@gjd1942]

Still such a beautiful woman. So charming.
