Three pretty young film starlets who appeared as ballerinas in the Maurice Chevalier film "J’avais sept Filles" ("My Seven Little Sins"). On the left Maria Frau and on the right American-born Mimi Médard, sharing a snack and a rest. Standing, dressed in a tutu is Luciana Paoluzzi. Shortly after the film was made Luciana married Michael J. Solomon, head of Warner Bros. and Mimi married Lord Coventry. Monte Carlo 1954.

In a candid moment during a break from filming "J’avais sept Filles" in Monte Carlo, 1954, ballerina Luciana Paoluzzi stands poised in her satin bodice and tutu. Seated below her, fellow starlets Maria Frau (left) and American-born Mimi Médard (right) share a snack in what appears to be a dressing room. Frau, reclining with her feet up, feeds a slice of orange to Médard, who holds a single ballet slipper. The informal scene contrasts the on-stage persona with a relaxed, private friendship.
