Description
This is a black and white photo of the Irish athlete Noel Carroll posing with the actors Vicki and Ann Michelle at the festival club. The group are standing in front of a poster advertising the French-Belgian film Rendezvous at Bray (André Delvaux, 1971) which starred the Danish-French actor Anna Karina (1940-2019) who featured in several films made by her ex-husband Jean-Luc Goddard. A bespectacled Carroll and Ann Michelle both smile at the camera while Vicki Michelle looks up at Carroll laughing.
Noel Carroll (1941-1998) was an Irish middle-distance runner who set European and World Records in the 1960s and competed for Ireland in the Tokyo Olympic Games. He was one of the founders of the Dublin Marathon in 1980 and, since his untimely death in 1998, the winner of the Marathon receives the Noel Carroll Memorial Trophy. Carroll was married to the international harpist Deirdre O'Callaghan who also came to the film festival.
The Michelle sisters are both English actors born in Essex. Vicki Michelle (1950-) is best known for her work on the BBC television series ‘Allo ‘Allo. She has an extensive television and stage career appearing on Celebrity Masterchef (2008), Emmerdale (2007-2009), I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! (2014). She has also appeared on the Irish sketch show The Mario Rosenstock Show (2012).
Vicki Michelle played alongside her sister Ann Michelle (1952-) in The Virgin Witch (Ray Austin, 1971) which was rejected by the British Board of Film Censors before being passed with an X rating. The cut version was released in 1972 around the time of this photograph. Ann Michelle also had a small part in the British horror-cult film Psychomania (aka The Death Wheelers) (Don Sharp, 1973) starring George Sanders and Beryl Reid. Sanders (1906-1972) was an English actor with an extensive film career including All About Eve (Joseph L Mankiewicz, 1950) starring Bette Davis, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. However his personal life was fraught and in 1972, soon after completing Psychomania, he committed suicide stating in a suicide note that he was bored.
