After more than 1000 appearances, Zizi Jeanmaire, tired, lost her enthusiasm and got herself replace in 1973 by Lisette Malidor. The review ended for good in 1974, the costs and taxes got the better of the venture that was a financial black hole. In 1976, it was Line Renaud who found the Casino de Paris with a far more traditional concept.
Today we only have the photos and a few films to relive this sumptuous spectacle and it's a chance to see and pay tribute to the fabulous Zizi Jeanmaire, then at her artistic peak. |

The "Saint Laurent Girls"
You can spot right away they girls wearing Saint Laurent because they wear things short, even very short. Rhinestones and "Charleston" fringes for Sylvie Vartan for whom this would be the last public appearance before her car accident at the end of February. A leopard print dress for Elsa Martinelli and finally Zizi in paradise bird feathers. Johnny commits the "fashion faux-pas" of his life by wearing his wife's monkey coat... |
