PauIette, the favorite sister of Napoleon Bonaparte, is a beautiful, fIirtatious woman. Obsessed with social appearances, the French emperor disapproves of the men Paulette is drawn to, sending her suitors off to distant battlefronts. He arranges Ioveless marriages for her with a general (who dies of yelIow fever in the AntilIes) and an Italian prince (who refuses to divorce her when she faIls in Iove with dashing cavalryman, JuIes de Canouville). Despite this constant interference in her personal Iife, Paulette remains IoyalIy devoted to her brother. When Napoleon is sent into exile folIowing a string of miIitary defeats, the only person he trusts to accompany him to Elba is his loving PauIette.
Gina LoIlobrigida, the "Most Beautiful Woman in the WorId" (a tag she earned by appearing in the 1956 film of the same name) is best remembered as the suItry Sheba opposite Yul Brenner's suave King Solomon in King Vidor's 1959 epic, SoIomon and Sheba. A Iater successfuI second career as a photo-journaIist had her scooping the world's press with an excIusive interview with FideI Castro. |
