[OT] Waiting for Catherine Deneuve (in the rain, with an umbrella)

I remember, when I was a wee lad, a commercial came on the television.
I think it may have been for Chanel perfume. It began with Catherine
Deneuve saying "I am Catherine Deneuve".

My mother reacted to that by perceiving it as vain and egotistical.
Who was Catherine Deneuve supposed to be anyways?

Well, I hadn't heard of her either, but I simply assumed she must have
been a famous actress or model of whom I happened not to have heard.

I never gave the matter much thought. But today the song "I Will Wait
for You" came into my mind, and I went to look up performances of it.
It turns out that it was from the movie "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg"
(The Umbrellas of Cherbourg), and not only was this very acclaimed
movie one in which Catherine Deneuve appeared, but, in fact, she was
in the scene in which this song, with its original French lyric, was
sung in the movie.
