A long and beautiful love story: the one that Claudia Cardinale has lived for 60 years with the Cannes Film Festival. Her charm has regularly illuminated her since these first photos of 1961 where she poses seated on a lawn, dressed in a white dress and summer sandals.

Two years later, we find her on the Croisette quietly walking a cheetah that she holds on a leash. The presence of the beast owes nothing to chance. He ensures, in his own way, the promotion of Luchino Visconti’s film where the actress gives the reply to Alain Delon and Burt Lancaster. On May 22, 1963, his smile was even brighter when Le Guépard was rewarded with a Palme d’or awarded almost unanimously by the jury.
Thirty years later, in 1993, here she is a member of a jury chaired by Louis Malle. This means that her presence in 2017 on the poster for the 70th edition is almost natural, even if it is a form of consecration of this smile that she already displayed in 1964 when answering questions from François Chalais.
