Arielle Dombasle invades New York this week, and she is popping up everywhere. If you have not yet discovered Mrs. B.H.L., wait no more!Earlier this week, she appeared on Charlie Rose. Dombasle is briefly profiled in this week's New Yorker magazine, where she is introduced as "half of France’s most famous couple." "You photograph well," he said, looking at a picture, propped on her music stand, of a sultry Dombasle embracing her late, beloved cat, Sloogy. "Well, with the right lighting everyone does," Dombasle said.
Although she rose to prominence as an actress, first in Eric Rohmer's Pauline at the Beach, she is in New York this week to sing -- at the Supper Club, no less. She has two albums this year; the first, Amor Amor, has been out for several months and is a best seller in France. Her latest album, C'est Si Bon, goes on sale in the US on October 17. Dombasle is also profiled in the Sunday NYT: More Parisian Than M. Eiffel’s Tower, where she is said to be "perhaps the Frenchest person alive", despite having been born in Connecticut and spending her childhood in Mexico. She was also featured earlier this month in The Telegraph. Of her previous album, the reviewer wrote: Even more so than last year's retro-hit for Pink Martini, it conjures up a forgotten world of romance and sensuality.
