Hanging with Icons: Deneuve and Callas Living it Up in Paris
Deneuve Overhears Callas' Song Emanating from the Fireplace - Deneuve listened to Callas sing via the chimney.
Hey there! Guess what? Two heavyweights of our time lived under the same roof in the City of Lights – actress Catherine Deneuve and opera sensation Maria Callas! Yes, you read that right. Deneuve spilled the beans about their special friendship to the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung," quashing a long-held myth.
Contrary to popular belief, it wasn't about lying on the floor and pressing our ears to the ground to catch the melodies of Callas. Nope, instead they'd listen to her through the chimney! Apparently, the opera queen hadn't thought of that while soundproofing her place.
Deneuve's not much of a nostalgia buff
To clarify, Deneuve isn't much of a wallower in the past. She'd rather be in the present. A brief trip down memory lane followed by a quick anecdote – that's about it.
Callas and Deneuve aren't exactly big on looking back, so to speak. They're more focused on the here and now. The past? It's interesting, but only to a certain extent.
Not One to Replay Past Glories
Deneuve hardly ever watches her own movies, she confessed. If a movie of hers pops up on the TV while channel surfing, she might pause for a few minutes to catch up. But usually, she tunes out after ten minutes max. The reason? She prefers spending her precious time exploring other great films rather than rehashing her own.
So, why bore herself with her own movies when there's a whole world of cinematic wonders waiting to be discovered? That's Deneuve for you!
In an unexpected twist, the actress Catherine Deneuve, renowned for her sparing recollections, revealed that she never indulges in re-watching her own movies. Instead, she prefers investing her time in exploring fresh cinematic interests. On the other hand, the focus of Callas and Deneuve remains on the present, with a fleeting interest in the past, never losing sight of the many captivating experiences yet to be discovered. Despite the special friendship they shared in Paris, stories of their past are merely interesting anecdotes, not something they often dwell on.
