‘Fred Astaire was the big card. All Paris has been talking of nothing else for a week…and wanting to see him’.

Fred was on a goodwill tour, supporting American troops and boosting morale during the Second World War. ‘He had been up in Holland and was expecting to get into Germany, but we hadn’t yet taken the town he was supposed to entertain in and he was needed back here [in Paris] for this show.’

Lee went on to write that Fred ‘misses his family like mad, and like every other GI thinks only of the mail, which keeps missing him by two days’ forced to march in the other direction. He was attached to a large unit (unnamed) which ordinarily would have been many miles behind the danger lines but was owned by a General who has fascinating ideas about being up where things happen. Therefore he was mixed up in all the types of strafing’. ‘Players in Paris’ manuscript by Lee Miller, Paris 1944 by Lee Miller © Lee Miller Archives, England 2020.

Lee Miller in her only film appearance in ’Le sang d'un poète’ (1930), directed by Jean Cocteau. 

Lee Miller (1907–1977) is one of the most remarkable female icons of the 20th century - an individual admired as much for her free-spirit, creativity and intelligence as for her classical beauty. Lee began her modelling career on the cover of American ‘Vogue’, and was photographed by the greatest talents of the day before going to Paris, where she became a highly acclaimed photographer whose worked spanned documentary, portraiture, travel, fashion and advertising, as well as striking experimental Surrealist images. Together with Man Ray (Lee was his student, collaborator, lover and muse), she discovered the photographic technique of solarisation. During the Second World War, she was a war correspondent for Vogue, covering events such as the London Blitz, the liberation of Paris, and the concentration camps at Buchenwald and Dachau. During that time, she was the only official female photojournalist working in combat areas. (x)
