At their Villa Yakymour in Le Cannet, the Begum greets actress Romy Schneider and actor Karlheinz Böhm during her annual Cannes Film Festival reception in 1957. That year, the Aga Khan was too ill to be present. The Begum, elegant in a tailored suit and pearls, told a visibly touched Schneider that the Prince would have been pleased to see her. Schneider, seen in profile with her hand raised near her chest, smiles warmly in return.
