- Madeleine Cheminat, Tout feu, tout flamme (All Fired Up), France, 1981. Not easy finding Isabelle Adjani’s grandmother, who is also Yves Montand’s mother. With help from Jean-Claude Brialy and Marlene Dietrich’s pal, Sacha Briquet, Euro casting icon Dominique Besnehard met such old lady actresses as Janine Crispin, Danielle Darrieux, Madeleine Ozeray, Jane Crispin. And Margo, a Franco-German lesbian chanteuese of the Berlin and Paris ’30s. He found her home full of photos of Dietrich - “the greatest love of my life.” Meeting the mall was, said Besnehard, like being dropped into a live history of cinema.
