Colette -- Filmed at Home with her Cats and Dog
This is footage of Sidonie Gabrielle Colette (1873-1954) in the garden of her home - she is stroking her two cats, and then patting her dog and holding its paw.
Many will know Colette as the writer of the Claudine novels and of 'Gigi' but perhaps fewer will know of her earlier career as a music hall performer.
Enjoy!

French Author 1951 COLETTE
Colette (pronounced:was the surname of the French novelist and performer Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (28 January 1873 -- 3 August 1954). She is best known for her novel Gigi, upon which Lerner and Loewe based the stage and film musical comedies of the same title.
her writing career bloomed following the publication of Chéri (1920). Chéri tells a story of the end of a six-year affair between an aging retired courtesan, Léa, and a pampered young man, Chéri. Turning stereotypes upside-down, it is Chéri who wears silk pajamas and Léa's pearls, and who is the object of gaze.[clarification needed] In the end, Léa demonstrates all the survival skills which Colette associates with femininity. (The story continued in La Fin de Chéri (1926), which contrasts Léa's strength and Chéri's fragility and decline.) Considered nowadays to be Colette's masterpiece, Chéri was originally met with controversy because of its choice of setting - the demimonde of the Parisian courtesans - and also because of its portrayal of the hedonistic Chéri.
After Chéri, Colette entered the world of modern poetry and painting revolving around Jean Cocteau, who was later her neighbor in Jardins du Palais-Royal. Their relationship and life is vividly depicted in their books. By 1927, she was frequently acclaimed as France's greatest woman writer. "It ... has no plot, and yet tells of three lives all that should be known", wrote Janet Flanner of Sido on its publication in 1930. "Once again, and at greater length than usual, she has been hailed for her genius, humanities and perfect prose by those literary journals which years ago ... lifted nothing at all in her direction except the finger of scorn."
She spent her final years in a wheelchair, being cared for by Goudeket, whom she called "a saint". In 1951 she attended the premiere of a documentary about her life, and at the end she was heard saying to Goudeket, "What a beautiful life I've had".
Upon her death in Paris in 1954, Colette left 50 published novels in total, many with autobiographical elements. Her themes can be roughly divided into idyllic natural tales or dark struggles in relationships and love. All her novels were marked by clever observation and dialogue with an intimate, explicit style.
Her popular novella Gigi was made into a Broadway play and a highly successful Hollywood motion picture of the same name, starring Leslie Caron, Louis Jourdan and Maurice Chevalier. Colette is directly credited with the discovery of a young, unknown Audrey Hepburn, whom the elder chose on sight to play the eponymous Broadway lead in Gigi. According to Miss Hepburn herself, she was garrisoned with the 1952 film production company of Monte Carlo Baby at a hotel in the south of France for brief location shooting, the relatively unglamorous assignment part of a standard contract. Miss Hepburn at the time commanded barely more stature than many unknowns after the Armistice in a European film industry decimated by WWII. Colette chanced to see the young Hepburn walking across the lobby of the hotel and immediately said to her companion of the moment, "There is my Gigi!" It may therefore be reasonably asserted that Colette gave the first half of the twentieth century her literary oeuvre, and the second half of the century one of its most prominent lights of modern cinema. In 2009, an adaptation by Christopher Hampton of both Chéri and La Fin de Chéri was made into a film starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend and Kathy Bates and directed by Stephen Frears.

C'est à Saint-Sauveur, au contact de la nature et des bêtes familières, dans le jardin familial, dans la campagne et les forêts environnantes, que se sont formés une sensibilité, un instinct : bref, cette manière singulière d'appréhender le monde, basée sur les sens, qui n'appartient qu'à Colette.

ガブリエル・コレットの名言集
シドニー=ガブリエル・コレット (Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, 1873年1月28日 - 1954年8月3日) は、フランスの女性作家。コレット (Colette) というペンネームで活躍した。「性の解放」を叫び、同性も対象とした華麗な恋愛遍歴で有名。代表作のひとつは『ジジ』 (1944年) であり、後にブロードウェイで舞台化され、さらに1958年にはモーリス・シュヴァリエ主演により映画化もされた。ブロードウェイ版『ジジ』のオーディションに自ら立会い、主演にオードリー・ヘップバーンを抜擢したことでも有名。ブルゴーニュ地方ヨンヌ県サン=ソーヴル=アン=ピュイゼー出身。父親はジュール=ジョゼフ・コレット、母親は愛称シドことアデールという。1893年に15歳年長のアンリ・ゴーティエ=ヴィラールと結婚。処女出版された『クロディーヌ』シリーズは、夫の筆名ヴィリー (Willy) 名義で世に送り出された(夫婦合作とも言われる)。
1906年に浮気なバイセクシャルの夫と離婚し、パリのミュージック・ホールでパントマイムや踊り子として活躍を始める。この頃の愛人は、ナポレオン3世の血縁者を名乗っていたベルブーフ侯爵夫人ミッシーであり、ニ人は舞台上で共演することもあった。1912年にル・マタン紙主筆のアンリ・ド・ジュヴネルと再婚。ベル=ガズー・コレット=ド=ジュヴネルをもうけた。娘の回想によると、コレットは子供を望んでおらず、赤ん坊をイギリス人の乳母に任せて自分は家を出たきりだったという。
1914年にパリ・オペラ座から、新作バレエの台本を委嘱され、「わが子のためのディヴェルティスマン(娯楽音楽)」と題したプランを練り始め、モーリス・ラヴェルに音楽担当を呼びかけるが、ラヴェルはこれをオペラとして膨らませることを提案し、コレットはそれを受け容れた。こうして完成された台本が『子供と魔法』であり、ラヴェルは第一次世界大戦後に、数年がかりで1幕オペラにまとめあげ、1925年3月21日の初演を迎えた。
