In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent dressed Arletty for Henri Rolland’s production of Jean Cocteau’s Les Monstres sacrés (Sacred Monsters). The play, which Jean Cocteau wrote for Yvonne de Bray in 1939 while he was living on his houseboat, premiered at the Théâtre Michel in February 1940. The 1966 reprisal at the Théâtre des Ambassadeurs saw Arletty in her last role (Esther).
