Tina Aumont: What a Girl!

As soon as Tina appears in the streets of Rome, she advances in a concert of admiring whistles. From the "accatone" to the dandies of the Via Veneto, all express themselves in the lyrical mode: "Oh, there, que ragazza!" It is because our Tina is a very beautiful one, indeed. Over time, the daughter of Jean-Pierre Aumont grew with a luxuriance that evokes the tropical flower. Moreover, she is a star in the Peninsula. After having tried in some commercial films, she was chosen by Bertolucci, who makes the "new cinema", as a partner of Pierre Clémenti in "Partner": it is a duet that we can not wait to contemplate.

Tina Aumont: dreamy or perverse?

Tina (ex-Marquand) seems to be sorry for all those who would like to admire her in France: her career is done either in Italy or in England and, in fact, since "La Curée" by Vadim, she did not work anymore in French studios. In Rome, where she recently shot a "Carmen" with Franco Nero, Tina will soon start "Partner", under the direction of young Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci, with Pierre Clémenti as a partner. "Will you be perverse, dreamy, pure, a pretty monster?" she was asked. Tina, fluttering her eyelashes, replied: "It takes a certain look for a dreamer to pass through a perverse and vice versa. So we'll see!"
