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.

This was Tina's favourite film from her career.

🎀Marie-Christine Montez🎀

One can play the Queen of Sheba like Maria Montez, be in a way the Empress of Desire and not be able to resist a few tears or the imperious gaze of a tiny five-year-old girl.

Maria Montez and Jean-Pierre Aumont have a daughter, Marie Christine, as haughty and sure of her power as the great-grandmother of Alphonse XIII from whom she descends in direct line - or so it is said (let anyone come after that and deny the influence of the first name!).

Maria Montez, who belongs to an old Basque family in Spain, wants her daughter to resemble a Las Meninas by Velázquez. So she dresses her like an Infanta, with an abundance of embroidered and starched petticoats. Little Marie-Christine is delighted with her undergarments (and proudly shows them off on occasion). Last year, she bravely cut up one of her finest petticoats to make a pretty doily as a surprise for the big day. Her mother exclaimed, "Guapita (my lovely one), you embroider like a Majorcan!"

This year, Chris is preparing a small supplement in English because she is the only one in the family who speaks it properly.

It's funny in the last line Tina is nicknamed Chris when she was nicknamed Tina by all her family...

Another fun fact is that Maria doesn't descend of king Alfonso XIII of Spain, but her dad Isidoro Gracia García was Spain's honorary vice-consul while king Alfonso XIII was ruling Spain.

Here you have the document signed by the State Minister giving Don Isidoro the vice-consul title. Scan from "Maria Montez, su vida", book written by Margarita Vicens, Dirección General de Cine de la República Doninicana, 2012.

Marie-Christine Aumont (4 years old), who has many relatives with Jean-Pierre, since she is his daughter and that of Maria Montez, talked about music with Roland Hilda, son of the conductor, and poetry with Marie-Sygne and François Claudel, grandchildren of Paul, between two cakes, at the afternoon tea offered by Corot.

On December 1949 it was held a party/event for the children who had famous parents and Tina attended. Here you have article 1 & article 2 of this same event.

Young Casanova screencaps

Infanzia, vocazione e prime esperienze di Giacomo Casanova, veneziano (literally Childhood, Vocation, and First Experience of Giacomo Casanova, Venetian, internationally released as Giacomo Casanova: Childhood and Adolescence and Casanova: His Youthful Years) is a 1969 Italian comedy film directed by Luigi Comencini. It tells of the youth named Casanova, who, after an unhappy childhood and early ecclesiastical activity in Venice, became an abbot and abandoned his vocation for the love of a countess. Despite the plot, more than a portrait of Casanova, the film wants to be a vivid fresco of the Venetian society of the time.

Plot (it may contain spoilers)

In 1742 in Venice, the young Giacomo Casanova is in a great trouble. A few years previously, in the seminary in Padua, Giacomo had experienced his first love, though he was destined to be a priest. While Giacomo now follows the seminary, the young noble is to sneak into a palace of beautiful girls and spend the night. One day, Giacomo falls in love with a beautiful countess, so he decides to abandon his studies to become a priest for being a daring libertine.
