Tina Aumont posing nude for Playmen’s September 1976 issue in a pictorial entitled, “Poetry and Pleasure”. The daughter of veteran stage and film actor Jean-Pierre Aumont, the smokey-eyed beauty was heavily influenced to pursue a career in showbusiness from an early age. Originally a French national, Tina’s father was forced to flee his home country in the midst of World War II due to his Jewish heritage, and subsequently continued his star-studded success in Hollywood. Despite being born in America, Miss Aumont spent most of her life overseas. When Tina was only six years of age her mother, who was also a respected screen actress, suffered a heart attack while bathing and later drowned. This, as well as the senior Aumont’s remarriage, may have lead to the dark-skinned model being sent away to a Switzerland bording school for a proper foreign education. However, as a youth of the 1960s Tina fully embraced the European “new wave” and counter-culter scenes at the annoyance of her father. At the age of 17 the future actress prematurely married Christian Marquand, a 1950s “heartthrob” of French cinema, at the bequest of Mr. Aumont despite her new husband being 13 years her senior. Coincidently prior to marrying her father Tina’s mother, Maria Martez, was married to a much older man she met before her 18th birthday. While Miss Aumont often relayed that she didn’t remember the woman who was supposed to be her biggest female influence, as a Dominican native Martez bequethed a signeture “mysterious” and “exotic” likeness upon her daughter. It wasn’t long before Tina’s striking features and coy-like elegance attracted noted Italian film autuers such as Federico Fellini and Tinto Brass. In addition to landing several small and supporting roles througout Europe’s Meditteranean region, the slender actress was a popular model for glamour photographers; her most noted shoot appeared in a 1969 issue of Playboy where she was depicted with ankle-legnth hair. Also like her mother, Aumont passed away suddenly in 2006 due to a pulmonary embolism at age 60.

Tina Aumont, Poetry and Pleasure

“truly not only the boundaries between light and darkness can be seen in the unequal and sinuous Moon, but - what arouses more wonder - in the dark part of the Moon many shining cusps are shown, completely divided and avulsed by the illuminated part, and far from these small stretch … ”. Thus, the merciless Galileo, in his Sidereus Nuncius described our satellite, throwing on it the first veils that the American astronauts would have finished extending more than three centuries later. But not even the most aseptic and meticulous of the scientists could find cusps of darkness in the sweet and unbroken beauty of Tina Aumont, in the erotic perversity of her enchantment by Fata Morgana, in the warm glow of her eyes, in the metaphorical temptation of her body. What then Tina Aumont is an actress about to face an important trial is but a further attribute, like a satellite circled with fire that adds brightness and splendor to the dazzling light of a fixed star, with its fire storms, its burning hydrogen volcanoes, its mysteries of poetry and pleasure that no astronomer can unveil.
