FRANCOISE PASCAL

PERFECT TIMING

My guest this week on Jazzbites was born in Mauritius to French Mauritian parents and moved to England as a teenager where she started out as a model in London in the swinging sixties. Educated in both Paris and London, her stunning looks and vibrant personality paved the way into a career in acting where she starred in films and television alongside some of the most famous names in show business. Today she talks about her movies with Peter Sellers, how she turned down a leading role offered to her by Kirk Douglas, surviving a horrific accident, why Michael Caine referred to her as the hottest one-armed chick in London, Shakespeare in Hollywood, the passion for her charity work, and the exciting new TV series and feature film both due for release later this year.

Francoise is currently working on the pilot for a new television series For The Love Of Ella directed by James Farina, and also the feature film Girl Force both scheduled for release later this year.

Francoise Pascal's new autobiography will be available in 2016.
