Tina Marquand looks at herself in the mirror, and she’s wearing a soft dress, rich in oriental fabric, but her bare feet are still those of her childhood. Did she have a childhood, between that mother who was too beautiful, too generous, too eager to remain charming, and that father whom Gide adored, and those enchanting, South American, chatty, and sociable aunts? Maria Montez was the victim of a weight-loss treatment, which her heart could not cope with. Tina was left alone at a very young age.
