Attractive, masculine, and charismatic, Jerry is an American GI who chooses to stay in Paris to study painting and further his artistic aspirations.

LISE DASSIN
Female, late teens to 20s. Must be an EXCELLENT ballet dancer. Beautiful, ethereal, elegant and expressive, Lise is quite guarded after the time she spent in hiding during the Nazi occupation of France.
