Did Claudia Cardinale and María Felix meet?
Tumblr media
Yes, they met in June 1961 taking pictures with the singer Lady Patachou at the "Nuit de la chancellerie" gala in France but the Felix - Cardinale relationship was not and did not reach a friendship.
Tumblr media
At the end of the following year director Henry Hathaway was looking for an older, experienced actress for his film "Circus World" for the role of "Lili Alfredo", the mother of Tony Alfredo (played by Claudia Cardinale), and here comes the problem. First they offered María Félix the role of "Lili Alfredo" playing the mother of "Tony" but the popular 'María Bonita' expressed herself saying: "I will not play the role of the mother of a novice actress" since she found out that Claudia would be the protagonist.
Tumblr media
To María Felix's petulant refusal; the director Henry Hathaway did not know who to offer and this was known to John Wayne (father of Claudia/Tony in the film as Matt Masters) to whom the director gave his trust so that he would not leave his 'daughter' Tony "orphaned" and Wayne contacted his dear friend the iconic Rita Hayworth and she kindly accepted without any differences with the new young protagonist Claudia Cardinale.
Tumblr media
Filming began in September 1963 and concluded in February 1964 in Madrid, Spain, premiering that same year, being a great success at the time!

"One day Rita came into my caravan and started crying, something that disconcerted me and she told me: 'I was beautiful too one day'. It hurt me a lot because for me she was a goddess"

"I love collecting wigs! This hobby started since my contract said that I was prohibited from cutting my hair, so I found the solution by buying wigs of different colors and sizes. I love changing my hairstyle!" -Claudia Cardinale for the Spanish magazine "Blanco y Negro", 1965.

🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼🌼 *I'm going to apologize for the big marks that I added in the photos, I don't like it either but I was forced to put it because I saw that in VK the administrator of the page has been removing the source where the photos come from and I before publishing the rare CC photos I have to fix them because many photos were of very low quality and it is difficult for me to edit them manually as naturally as possible since the AI does not help much and as credit to my own effort I put in the corner of the photos the name of my Tumblr and at the same time the public can visit and learn more about my beloved Claudia Cardinale and it did bother me that other people who do not see the effort of another person cut it and published it without giving credit either to the photographer!
So I'm going to keep an eye on VK and any blog!*

«She had a very intense and lifelong relationship with Angelo Frontoni and Chiara Samugheo, who was a great friend of hers. But my mother is such a photogenic miracle that it is very difficult to find a photo in which she is not beautiful." -Claudia Squitieri, daughter of Claudia Cardinale for the interview 'L' Officiel Ibiza' in 08/02/2023.

"This is how I do my makeup" by Claudia Cardinale:
Tumblr media
♡ In her luxurious apartment in Rome and with infinite kindness and simplicity, Claudia teaches us her very personal makeup technique and revealed her small and simple beauty advice.
🌞 Light Makeup: For the day
Tumblr media
☆ To prepare my skin I apply a light layer of moisturizer on my forehead, cheeks and around the eyes, then I refresh my face with a little cotton wool soaked in rose water, then I apply the foundation and a semi-fluid herbal cream that hydrates the skin.
Tumblr media
☆ With a tissue I remove the excess cream with light touches on the face, then I apply a very light powder with cotton that gives the skin a natural transparency.
Tumblr media
☆ The eye makeup is light; I highlight the upper eyelids with a black pencil and with a dark brown pencil I outline the eyes a little outside the base of the eyelashes. A touch of pink or soft red lips finishes the makeup. Voila!
Tumblr media
🌙 Heavy makeup: For the night
Tumblr media
☆ Above all, you must prepare the skin so that it is soft. Again I apply my moisturizing cream and do a light massage, 20 minutes later the cream is completely absorbed, I lightly rub my face and neck with 2 cotton balls soaked with an alcohol-free herbal product. It's a little trick to keep your skin elastic, rested and fresh for several hours.
Tumblr media
☆ I apply the foundation I use lightly, apply it to my forehead, cheeks and chin and then spread it all over my face evenly but without stretching the skin! The powder I use is colorless to highlight eye makeup.
Tumblr media
☆ I line my eyes with black pencil, sometimes I use gel kohl: I draw a straight line on my upper eyelid highlighting the corners, I line my eyes in black a little outside the natural lash line, I fill in with dark brown pencil my eyebrows, before applying cosmetics to my upper and lower eyelashes I first powder them and then apply mascara. To shade the eyes, I have a very personal technique: I dilute a little blue or light green shadow with a little cream and spread this paste with a large, flat brush over the eyelids then apply powder on top. The lipstick is very light; natural pink color, this to highlight the eye makeup. And ready!
Tumblr media
Did you like CC's makeup techniques? I love the simplicity and naturalness of her makeup without so much contour, shine, 3 foundations or more. I certainly do the same as CC, less is more!
Tumblr media
/Article and photos taken from a French magazine from 1962./ *I added 2 color photos from CC to show what the final result of the makeup would be like*

A Fine Pair (1968)
Tumblr media
🎬 Directed by Francesco Maselli.
Tumblr media
Oh these 2 really looked like a couple! 😍 Rock Hudson is my favorite on-screen partner for CC and Claudia herself said that she had a little "romance" with Hudson because he asked her for a favor to keep the press away from the insistent question about his sexual orientation. Outside of this whole topic about Hudson's personal life; Claudia and Rock were always great friends 💖.

Bardot talked about the movie she was filming with Claudia and said that she was afraid that Claudia would end up hitting her in the fight scene between them since she saw her stronger than her and decided that she would have a double in that scene where they had than pushing, falling and fighting in the dirt; specifically in this scene:

Claudia Cardinale in… Culture Club video!
Oh yesssss as you read! The first time I saw the video I was surprised! I had bought the Culture Club DVD back in 2018 and I started watching all the videos without changing (yes, I love Culture Club songs!) and suddenly "God Thank you Woman" came on for the first time I heard it and I loved it the sound and I stayed watching the video and to my surprise… my idol Claudia Cardinale appeared in a scene
Tumblr media
from the English film "The Upstairs and Downstairs", 1959 (Directed by Ralph Thomas)
Tumblr media
and I was all excited to see it!
Tumblr media
Of course I was also excited to see in the music video Brigitte Bardot in "And God Create Woman", Sophia Loren in "El Cid", Raquel Welch, Britt Ekland and among other world-renowned European actresses.
Tumblr media
Album: From Luxury to Heartache. Artist: Culture Club. Release date: 1986.
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 The lyrics of the song are beautiful! Boy George sings this beautiful song dedicated to women, I like the part that says: "I would give my heart to you You're the air I breathe. There is nothing I won't do Just promise that you'll never leave… God Thank You Woman".
