A former model and ballerina, Marie found herself in demand as one of Europe's hottest models, once appearing on 14 different glossies in the same month -- still a record surpassed only by Princess Diana. She is extremely well-informed about all things beautiful, has exquisite taste which can be both cultured and wild, and often escapes to remote resorts to sample local delicacies and regenerate her delicate frame. When Charles (above) provided an inexhaustible appetite for life that for once matched her own, she became his lover and confidante. Friends soon convinced them to share their secrets, Marie agreed to write about her own experiences, and Charles & Marie was born.
