1.―Dominique Sanda is an actress who can be now probably rarely seen on the films. She was born in Paris in 1951. She is now 53 years old, and I like her very much. Her real name is Dominique Varaigne. She said, "I like the word which starts with a characterS, so I made my stage nameSanda." In her statement, I can recognize her strong, attractive personality. She became an unmarried mother at 21 years old. Her charismatic beauty impressed the world as "an * advent
ofGreta Garboin the 1970s" and that impression has ensured her fame. Finally, she has become the international actress.
2.-Around the publish of this photographic record, Sanda was living with her only son Yan, who was 11 years old at that time. I can feel such lifestyle as a free one. I myself gave a birth to a son, and after that, I've got divorced. And after all, I am living with my only son. I coudn't know why, but before my divorce, the photograph in which Dominique and son was taken was my * consolation
to my mind. Perhaps I led meserable life * foreboding
the breakup. And now, Dominique's picture also uphold me greatly. I am never an international star or nothing, but now I live with my lovable son. Dominique seems to talk to me, "You are in your right way!"
3.-Recently women do never value a model of "marriage" or "an couple with two chilren" as an * absolute
ideal. Rather they wish to find a bigger worh living as "an individual" than to live * prepossessing
as "a woman in society", i.e. gender. Dominique dared to become an unmarried mother, have a work, and bring up a son. The time she was living as a young mother was the 1970s, not the 2000s, which was dominated by the somewhat closed society having an traditional family image. Now again I can see her photograph with her young son, and I am impressed or can be given an encouragement and a teaching from her.
4.―Dominique is also a woman not only with an absolute beauty as an actress but with a tough mind. In this photograph records, a famous editor Colline Bullet interviews her. Miss Bullet had worked for the most popular fashion magazine in the 1980's Marie Claire. At that time, I had read this interview and such words of Dominique was impressed me―"I never be scared of being naked. What scares me most is to make my mind all naked."― I was strongly shocked and moved by her words. Any woman would be shamed and feel dreadful to be stripped. But she can be stripped with a clear consciousness that she must do so for the staff taking such a scene as a pro actress. She can possess a strong self and never lose that under any situatiion. So, we can call a woman "a real actress" who are intelligently excellent both * externally and internally.
5.―In those days, she had a lover who was a director. Her own car is Benz, which is just appropriate for a star. However, she says, "I never wish to be interviewd or take * shooting
all around a year. So I love travel very much."―"I once been to Egypt and saw the Pyramids before dawn. I could felt a gentle breeze. A breeze of the morning desert. The sun rises above the Pyramids and I climbed a sand hill. As I climbed, the Sphinx gradually appeared―that was my first experience to see them. The sight was beyond my imagination. The left side was all sand hills and desert...moreover, I could see so many Pyramids on the desert! Egypt was the most wonderful place I've ever been to. That is a very beautiful, very mysterious place."―
6.―I can * assume
the reason why she is attracted by the Egypt's * mysticism
is that she herself is also an actress with her own mysticism. Dominique talked about her young son Yan with a deep affection, who was still 11 years old then―"Yan doesn't like traveling. He can't understand such a beauty as I've impressed in Egypt. But it's natural, for he is still a young child. The children love their homes, and they enjoy playing with their friends. My son is not a lonely child and he loves his fellows. He's very different from me. But at the same time, he is a child who can bear a loneliness, for he gets used to see me like this."―I myself is also too busy with works at college, and in the weekends, I am too exhausted to take care of my son. But a mind caring me is being grown in his heart. With a support of Dominique's words, I would like to watch my child's growth.(2005.1.24)
