At Cannes Airport in 1954, La Môme Moineau waves from the driver’s seat of her 1948 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith. A former flower seller who became the "richest woman of the Côte d'Azur," she sits in the Drophead Coupé by Franay, a gift from her husband, Dominican millionaire Mr. Benítez-Rexach. Her pilot stands beside the open door as a twin-engine aircraft, with “MOIN…” visible on its fuselage, waits on the grassy field behind them.
