 It's time to feast your eyes on Vincent as
Alexandre in Fanfan! I've finally updated the Archives with the posting of both
old and new Fanfan photos. Gallery 5 is now open
with pictures from the July 1993 issue of French Premiere magazine. The accompanying article has also been posted. Plus the Fanfan film page has been updated with lobby card
and pressbook photos. Next month there'll be another article with photos from Paris
Match magazine. If anyone is interested in a video copy (NTSC format) of this film
with English subtitles, e-mail me below. There's a new interview from the July 2000 issue of the Spanish magazine, Fotogramas, that I recently discovered on the Net. I also found this terrific comment about Vincent's performance in I Dreamed of Africa from Baseline Movie Reviews - "Vincent Perez is always a potent presence and here he lends his charismatic charms and forceful technique to the underwritten role of Paolo." How true! |

A warm thank you goes to Norwegian fan Řivind Christensen who wrote me on July 18th with news of another wonderful role for Vincent. He'll be starring in The Husband I Bought with Charlize Theron. They will play husband and wife in this film, based on Ayn Rand's short story written when Rand was a mere 21 year old just after she immigrated from Russia to the United States. The Husband I Bought was published after her death by heir and executor, Leonard Peikoff, when it was included in his 400-page volume of The Early Ayn Rand: A Selection of Unpublished Fiction. It's been said that Rand (1905-82) brought more people into the liberterian movement than anybody else by making a moral case for individualism and liberty through her dramatic novels, one of which was The Fountainhead, which was transferred to the screen in 1949 with Gary Cooper starring as architect Howard Roark.Vincent will also play an architect in Husband. Described as a primitive but intriguing story, it's about a wealthy woman with a perfect marriage to her husband, but a building designed by him collapses causing the death of several people, putting him into a downward spiral. When another woman steps into the picture to bring him back into the profession, his wife begins to lose him. DVD & VIDEO NEWS You can pre-order the DVD of I Dreamed of Africa at Reel.com for $16.99.
