Personal Quote:

[1970, on his deteriorating marriage to Jane Fonda] So far we have not discussed divorce, but I must admit it is not a very satisfactory arrangement. Jane comes home a few days each month to visit me and our daughter, and then she is off again. Now she is starting a picture in New York and I will be making one here... See more »

Trivia:

In 1961, 33-year-old Vadim moved in with 17-year-old Catherine Deneuve. Two years later they had a son, Christian; one month after that, they split and broke off contact. She sued him in 1987 for comments he made about her in his autobiography and was awarded $10,000 in damages. See more »
