Her use of kohl was captivating.
Lady Luck's been favorable to me recently - so I finally found the film and that led me to find out some more information about Miss Aumont. Turns out she was the daughter of the legendary Maria Montez, who in turn inspired three of my big heroes; James Bidgood, Jack Smith and Mario Montez. Maria Montez died when Tina was five years old.
She went on to appear in several films, like Tinto Brass's 1969 Nerosubianco (which I'm going to watch once I get settled into my new home sometime next week).
