The Begum, wife of the Aga Khan, greets actress Romy Schneider at the annual reception held at Villa Yakymour in Le Cannet during the 1957 Cannes Film Festival. Dressed elegantly in a light suit and a double-strand pearl necklace, the Begum extends her arm as Schneider, seen in profile, smiles warmly with a hand to her chest. Actor Karlheinz Böhm stands by. The Begum told Schneider that her husband, the Prince, though too ill to attend, would be pleased to see her—a remark that deeply touched the young actress.
