Leslie Caron, in a recent interview with Turner Classic Movies host Robert Osborne, said the character she portrayed in LILI "represented, a little bit, the inner self that I was then. I could put in that character everything I had lived through in the war, and the need for love and the desperate loneliness of this little half-wit felt very close to me." She ... said that everyone at MGM laughed at her for doing the part, thinking she was ruining her career and destroying the image that had been built up for her. LILI, of course, turned out to be a tremendous success, both critically and at the box-office.
