Françoise Bornet, pictured in a famous photograph by Robert Doisneau of young lovers kissing has died. She was 93.
Bornet was just 20 years old when, in 1950, she and her then-boyfriend, Jacques Carteaud, were spotted at a cafe by French photographer Robert Doisneau, who asked if they would pose for him as part of a commission from Life magazine to illustrate love in Paris. The resulting photograph, “Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville" became a global phenomenon in the 1980s when it was republished as a poster.
