playing a younger Perry White. In 1990 she starred in a remake of A Girl of the Limberlost, and in Stephen King's "It". Her drawings and paintings comprised portraits and dreamy landscapes composed in a light, slightly uneven expressionist style that was very much a reflection of her own easy-going manner and boundless optimism. 1983 saw her play the part of Lois Lane's arch-rival Lana Lang in Superman III (1983). A capable painter in her own right, a sold-out exhibition of Kiki's own paintings was held in Paris' Galerie au Sacre du Printemps in 1927. In the same year, she appeared opposite Nastassja Kinski in Cat People. She has a Daylily named after her: Kiki De Montparnasse. Although she appeared in a number of television and theatrical movies from 1973 onward (notably as Tammy Wynette in 1981's Stand By Your Man), her first major role was as Nick Nolte's loyal girlfriend in 48 Hrs. (1982). Long after her time, Kiki remains the embodiment of the outspokenness, audacity, and creativity that marked this period of Montparnasse. Annette began acting at a very young age doing guest appearances in shows such as My Three Sons (1960), The Virginian (1962), Gunsmoke (1955), and The Partridge Family (1970). Finally, in 1996, her book was translated and published. Annette O'Toole (born April 1, 1955 in Houston, Texas, USA) is an American dancer and actress. Kiki's Memoirs remained barred in the United States as late as the 1970s when it was still held in the section for banned books in the New York Public Library. This book was published the following year in New York City by Black Manikin Press but it was banned by the United States government. Ernest Hemingway and Tsuguharu Foujita provided the introduction for her 1929 memoirs. She was the mistress of Man Ray, and a friend of Chaim Soutine, Jean Cocteau, Max Ernst and other artists. She also had a role in nine different motion pictures, including Fernand Leger's famous Ballet mécanique. The symbol of bohemian and creative Paris, at age 28 she was declared "Queen of Montparnasse." Her music hall performances, in black hose and garters, included crowd-pleasing raunchy songs, which somehow were both uninhibited yet inoffensive. Her partnership with Man Ray produced some of Surrealism's most significant images. Alice Prin became one of the most famous artists' models ever, the most notable of which is a colection of photographs by Man Ray and the portrait of her painted by Moise Kisling titled Nu assis. At age 12 she was sent to Paris to be educated and by age 14 she was posing nude for sculptors. An illegitimate child, she was raised in abject poverty by her grandmother.
