Maybe Simone Signoret was right after all. The title of her 1978 autobiography was La nostalgie n’est plus qu’elle était (“Nostalgia Isn’t What It Used To Be”.)
I remember her in twilight, sitting outside the Colombe d’Or, the legendary restaurant in her home village of St.Paul de Vence, clutching her shawl, hunched over like a little old French lady.
