Jacques D’Azur the King of Cannes, is missing, presumed dead. Jacques was flying to his Tahiti home where he set sail on his yacht ‘Bridgette et Anna’.
The French film producer/director/actor/tennis player/chess master/backgammon champion/waterskiing pioneer and full time bon-vivant was known for his work on the red carpets and swimming pools of the French Riviera, which earned him the title ‘King of Cannes’.
The last reported radio contact from Jacques was the message “I have come across an undiscovered island. Amazingly all the inhabitants are beautiful women”. His location could not be determined. No further contact was made with him and the extensive search found no sign of Jacques or his yacht.
In his last will and testament, Jacques named an heir to his king of Cannes mantle. Unfortunately the exact name on the will was illegible… So an extensive search is under way to find Jacques rightful heir… It is rumored that the unsuspecting heir may be someone with little previous connection to Cannes or indeed Jacques himself!
Who will fill in for him at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival?
