The couture of France she would be nothing at all — nothing! – without all the good dresses you see from Coco! Mme Coco she is the first to make a dress go just so, and also the quaint hat!
All France is so full of thanks and love for Mme Coco, so we make a little movie for the TV. But who to be Coco? She must be a French actress we all agree, but who? Mlle Deneuve? No, no! Jeanne Moreau? Hmm. Perhaps, perhaps. Juliette Binoche? Peta Wilson? Brigitte Bardot? Getting warmer, but…
Aha! We know the actress who must be our Coco!
We implore Irma la Douce to come play Mme Coco. Oh, how we plead. We beg on our knees. We weep. We kiss her hem. Finally and so she says, “Okay! Okay! I will be your Coco! Go away!”
Did we choose with the wisdom? I so think! You may look by yourself at Mme Irma as she does the Coco on your TV. And do know: I have a very very small rôle, but it is important to the background. I am the bust on the mantelpiece you see in the back. To stand so still is not so very easy!
