Leslie Caron | 90 years age

The 1950s musical scene would not be as vibrant without the likes of Leslie Claire Margaret Caron, who flourished in productions like An American in Paris, Daddy Long Legs, Lili, and Gigi. Gene Kelly ignited her humble beginning. At the time, Kelly was looking for a co-star in An American in Paris, which received six Academy Awards. Kelly and Caron’s subsequent performances in Embraceable You and Our Love Is Here to Stay received critical acclaim from audiences and critics alike.

In the latter portion of her career, she parlayed her success into non-musical endeavors that include films such as Gaby, Father Goose, The L-Shaped Room, and Fanny, among others. After amassing a significant amount of wealth, Caron made investments in a hotel and restaurant.
