The Pheasantry (Chelsea)

The Pheasantry is delighted to welcome BAFTA, Golden Globe and Emmy winning film star Leslie Caron to the Pheasantry for a rare and intimate evening of conversation and music. One of the few actresses to star (and dance) with both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly, Caron is best known for the films An American in Paris, Lili (Winner of the BAFTA for best actress in a leading role), Daddy Long Legs, Gigi, and for the non-musical films Fanny, The L-Shaped Room (Winner of BAFTA and Golden Globe for best actress)and Father Goose. Leslie is also a two time Oscar nominee. In 2006, her performance in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit won her an Emmy for guest actress in a drama series. Other recent film credits include Chocolat and Le Divorce. Most recently Leslie appeared in the ITV television series The Durrells as the Countess Mavrodaki.

LESLIE CARON WILL BE INTERVIEWED IN A Q&A FORMAT. BEFORE THIS THERE WILL BE LIVE MUSIC FEATURING MUSIC FROM 'AN AMERICAN IN PARIS' AND OTHER CARON FILMS. MS CARON WILL NOT BE PERFORMING.

“Leslie Caron is a fine artist, conscientious, apt, serious. She hesitates to attempt anything either in dance or acting unless she is absolutely sure of herself ... I consider that a most commendable trait.”

Fred Astaire

Her recent stage credits include A Little Night Music by Stephen Sondheim at Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris and Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks by Richard Alfieri, at Laguna Playhouse, Laguna Beach, California.

Leslie is a recipient of the following honours: Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur, Ordre National du Mérite Officier de la Légion d'Honneur and the Commandeur de la Légion d'honneur.
