35 years ago we lost this angel way too soon. dear capucine, you are and will be forever loved, your beauty, wit, grace, talent, kindness and courage are forever stamped upon the screen as a reminder of the journey of the beautiful life you led. rest easy, darling! 💌🤍🕊️

from the bottom of my heart i hope that she knows how much she’s loved and appreciated by so many of us. rest in peace, capucine (1928 — 1990) 🤍🕊️

“the four of us had six days in rome together before the others arrived. cap and i found little out-of- the-way places to eat and sat for hours, talking and talking. it was wonderful to be with her again. [...]” dirk bogarde in an article for the ‘woman’ magazine in 1961.

let’s remember the late great hubert de givenchy gushing over capucine and their friendship. 🤍 they remained best friends until the end of her life and he was the one responsible to scatter her ashes in the french countryside.

capucine: when a woman is alone or with another, she can be herself. [...] but in relationships of most kinds, i feel more comfortable with women. “have the true loves of your life been women?” capucine: yes.
